It can vary, but usually end is the way to go.

Wait, are you sure about that?

I agree, end of the period makes sense.

I thought it was at the mid-point?
CA

Definitely at the end of the period!

I’m leaning towards option B, but I remember there being some confusion about where exactly to place them on the graph.

I feel like it could be at the beginning too, but that doesn't seem right. I need to double-check my notes.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the points are actually plotted at the mid-point of the period.

I think the moving average points should be at the end of the period they apply to, but I'm not completely sure.

I'm not totally confident, but I think the mid-point makes the most sense. The moving average is meant to smooth out the data, so it shouldn't be at the beginning or end of the period.
BE

I'm leaning towards B, since the moving average is meant to reflect the current state of the data. Placing the points at the end of the period makes the most sense to me.

The key here is to remember that a moving average is meant to smooth out the data, so the points should be centered on the period they represent. I'm going with A.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I thought the points were supposed to be at the end of the period, but now I'm not sure.
LU

I'm pretty sure the plotted points should be at the mid-point of the period, since that's where the average is calculated.

This is a good opportunity to apply the grounding system knowledge we've been studying. I feel prepared to tackle this type of question.

Screen popping! That's definitely one of the capabilities of Computer Telephony Integration. I'm sure about that.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the context correctly before answering.

This looks straightforward, I just need to calculate the interest cover ratio using the information provided.

Ah, the age-old debate of where to place moving average points. It's like deciding where to put the 'X' on a treasure map - the end, the middle, or just randomly scattered about?
CA

C) At the beginning of the period to which they apply.
KE

B) At the end of the period to which they apply.
LE

A) At the mid-point of the period to which they apply.

D? What kind of nonsense answer is that? Putting the points 'anywhere' in the period? Clearly the question is asking for a specific location.
JU
Jules

B) At the end of the period to which they apply.
JA

C) At the beginning of the period to which they apply.
CA

B) At the end of the period to which they apply.

A) At the mid-point of the period to which they apply.
CA

I'm going with B. Putting the points at the end makes the most intuitive sense to me. Anything else would just be confusing.
MA
Matthew

I think A is better, it shows the average throughout the period.
SU
Sue
1 year ago
I agree, B makes the most sense. It's clearer that way.
RO
Rory

I think the correct answer is A) At the mid-point of the period to which they apply because it provides a more accurate representation of the data.
BE
Bette

I was torn between A and B, but B makes more sense. Averaging the data midpoint doesn't really capture the trend at the end of the period.
RO
Rodolfo
2 years ago
I disagree, I believe the plotted points should be at the mid-point of the period.
MA
Ma

The correct answer is definitely B. The plotted points of a moving average should be at the end of the period to which they apply. That's the whole point of a moving average - to show the trend at the most recent data point.
