The moving average method is to be used for forecasting demand based on \( m \) periods of data. Two values of \( m \) are tried, \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) with \( m_1 > m_2 \), to get two different forecasts, denoted by \( F(t) \) and \( G(t) \).
P – \( F(t) \) has less variability than \( G(t) \)
Q – Forecast error of \( F(t) \) is less than that of \( G(t) \)
Which of the above statements are true?
