I’m surprised people think A is the best, isn’t it too high?

Wait, how does D even make sense for old forecasts?

C seems reasonable, but I lean towards A.

Definitely A, it has the highest weight.

I could be wrong, but I thought we learned that a higher constant means more weight on the new data, so maybe B or C?
JA

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like 0.2 might be the answer since it's the lowest option after 0.1.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think 0.4 would actually put more weight on the new forecast instead of the old one.

I think the lower the smoothing constant, the more weight is placed on the old forecast, right? So maybe it's D?

Okay, let's see here. I think the key is to find a way to automatically track when the Technician Wrap Up is complete. A Process or Workflow could work, but I'm not sure which one would be best.

Okay, I think I know the answer to this one. Let me double-check the options to be sure.

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*

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!
YO

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.
DU

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.
OD
Odette

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

I think you're right, B) 0.3 places the most weight on the old forecast.
NA
Nada

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

I disagree, I believe the answer is A) 0.4
NA

I think the answer is D) 0.1
