I'm going with C) 0.2. It's the smoothing constant that's just smooth enough, you know? Like a well-oiled forecasting machine.

A) 0.4 seems like the obvious choice here. I mean, who doesn't love a little extra weight on the old forecast, am I right? *wink wink*

A) 0.4 definitely gives more importance to the old forecast.

This is easy, the answer is B) 0.3. It's like the Goldilocks of smoothing constants - not too much, not too little, just right!

I'm torn between B) 0.3 and C) 0.2. But I think B) 0.3 makes the most sense since it allows for a balance between the old and new forecasts.

Hmm, I'd say the correct answer is B) 0.3. The higher the smoothing constant, the more weight is placed on the old forecast.

Yes, that's correct. The higher the smoothing constant, the more weight is given to the old forecast.

But a smaller smoothing constant places more weight on the old forecast, so it should be D) 0.1
