Summary Introduction
Introduction:
If a population is harvested by the humans, then the yield is termed as the ratio of number of individuals harvested to the time taken to harvest them. Maximum sustainable yield (MSY) is the maximum number of individuals of a population that can be removed from the habitat without causing decrease in population.

Consider the following actual and forecastdemand levels for Big Mac hamburgers at a local McDonald’srestaurant:
The forecast for Monday was derived by observing Monday’sdemand level and setting Monday’s forecast level equal tothis demand level. Subsequent forecasts were derived by usingexponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of 0.25.Using this exponential smoothing method, what is the fore-cast for Big Mac demand for Friday?
