Choose one of the forecasting methods and explain the rationale behind using it in real life. I would choose to use the exponential smoothing forecast method. Exponential smoothing method is an average method that reacts more strongly to recent changes in demand than to more distant past data.

I would

more stable atoms over time‚ which is called radioactive decay. Scientists can tell how old a rock is by using radiometric clocks‚ or by looking at its absolute age. Geologists measure the amount of certain radioactive elements; as time passes the radioactive elements change at regular rates‚ into non-radioactive elements. The older a rock is the larger the number of elements. The age of the rock is found by measuring when the element decays. Radio isotopes which are used to calculate the age of
