Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Given values: 27, 35, 42, 45, 51, 34, 43

A 5-yearly moving average takes 5 consecutive values and finds their average, then moves one position forward and repeats.

With 7 values and groups of 5, there are 3 moving averages possible.


First 5 values: 27, 35, 42, 45, 51

Average =27+35+42+45+515= \dfrac{27 + 35 + 42 + 45 + 51}{5}

=2005= \dfrac{200}{5}

=40= 40


Next 5 values: 35, 42, 45, 51, 34

Average =35+42+45+51+345= \dfrac{35 + 42 + 45 + 51 + 34}{5}

=2075= \dfrac{207}{5}

=41.4= 41.4


Last 5 values: 42, 45, 51, 34, 43

Average =42+45+51+34+435= \dfrac{42 + 45 + 51 + 34 + 43}{5}

=2155= \dfrac{215}{5}

=43= 43


The three five-yearly moving averages are: 40, 41.4, 43
