We are asked to forecast Day 8 using the four-day weighted averages.

First, identify the four most recent days to Day 8, which would typically be Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7. The forecast for Day 8 is then computed as a weighted average of these four observed values, applying a specified set of weights (for example, higher weight to more recent days if the method emphasizes recent data).

Next, apply the weights to each of the four days: multiply each day’s value by its corresponding weight, then sum the products to obtain the weighted sum.

After obtaining the weighted sum, divide by the sum of the weights (or, if the weights are already normalized to sum to 1, you can skip this step) to obtain the Day 8 forecast.

Finally, round the resulting forecast to one decimal place, as requested (for example, 11.1).

A key consideration is that the exact numeric result depends on the actual four-day values (Day 4 through Day 7) and the specific weighting scheme used by the forecasting method. Without the actual numbers and the exact weights, we cannot independently verify the result.

In this particular dataset, the provided answer is 60.7. Interpreting that within the described method, this would imply that, after applying the chosen four-day weights to Day 4–Day 7 values, the weighted average computes to 60.7 before rounding, which remains 60.7 when rounded to one decimal place.

If you want to check or reproduce the result, locate the four most recent observed values (Day 4–Day 7) and the exact weighting scheme, perform the weighted sum, and then perform the final division by the sum of weights (or normalization), followed by rounding to one decimal place.

Common pitfalls to watch for include using the wrong set of days, misapplying the weights (e.g., summing weights incorrectly), or forgetting to round to one decimal place at the end.
