We compute the five-period moving averages for all time periods except the first two and the last two.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is true. The five-period moving average is calculated by taking the average of the past five periods of data, which cannot be computed for the first two time periods because there are not enough previous data points. Similarly, the moving average cannot be accurately computed for the last two time periods because there are not enough future data points.
