Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

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

Given data: 15, 18, 21, 27, 39


For the first 3 values: 15, 18, 21

Average =15+18+213= \dfrac{15 + 18 + 21}{3}

=543= \dfrac{54}{3}

=18= 18


For the next 3 values: 18, 21, 27

Average =18+21+273= \dfrac{18 + 21 + 27}{3}

=663= \dfrac{66}{3}

=22= 22


For the last 3 values: 21, 27, 39

Average =21+27+393= \dfrac{21 + 27 + 39}{3}

=873= \dfrac{87}{3}

=29= 29


The three-year moving averages are: 18, 22, 29
