An ice-cream plant wants next week's freezer restock quantity from three summers of weekly sales, which rise every July. The team is not grouping stores and is not classifying carton photos. Which technique should they use?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of last July's freezer run, then asking what next July will need. That is forecasting a seasonal series, not grouping stores or labeling carton photos. A reward-seeking flavor inventor is a different machine.
Full Explanation
Forecasting predicts a later value in an ordered series, including seasonal weekly sales, which is the restock quantity. Clustering would group stores and the team said it would not. An image classifier would label carton photos, which they also ruled out. Inventing flavors with a reward-seeking agent is not a weekly quantity forecast.
