Answer to Question 1

a
RATIONALE: These measures of forecast accuracy are used to determine how well a particular forecasting method is able to reproduce the time series data that are already available. By selecting the method that is most accurate for the data already known, we hope to increase the likelihood that we will obtain more accurate forecasts for future time periods.

Answer to Question 2

b
RATIONALE: It is not possible to generate a scatter chart matrix using native Excel functionality. A scatter chart matrix is generated using the Excel Add-In XLMiner.
