For the given five values 16,25,19,34,4616, 25, 19, 34, 46, the three years moving averages are

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Given values: 16, 25, 19, 34, 46

A 3-year moving average groups 3 consecutive values together, finds their average, then moves to the next group of 3 consecutive values.


With 5 values, there are 3 groups of 3 consecutive numbers:

Group 1: 16, 25, 19 (1st, 2nd, 3rd values)

Group 2: 25, 19, 34 (2nd, 3rd, 4th values)

Group 3: 19, 34, 46 (3rd, 4th, 5th values)


For Group 1:

Average=16+25+193\text{Average} = \frac{16 + 25 + 19}{3}

=603= \frac{60}{3}

=20= 20


For Group 2:

Average=25+19+343\text{Average} = \frac{25 + 19 + 34}{3}

=783= \frac{78}{3}

=26= 26


For Group 3:

Average=19+34+463\text{Average} = \frac{19 + 34 + 46}{3}

=993= \frac{99}{3}

=33= 33


Therefore, the three-year moving averages are: 20, 26, 33
