Does this clip actually compute the Week 11 forecast value?

Within this clip, the setup is completed through the Week 2 formula and the recursion pattern for later weeks is explained; the numerical Week 11 forecast is not yet computed on screen.

Conditions

  • The clip ends after demonstrating the Week 2 formula entry.
  • The goal stated at the beginning is to find the Week 11 forecast.

Reasoning, step by step

  1. Review the stated objective: forecast Week 11 from Weeks 1-10.
  2. Observe the actions taken: initializing Week 1 and entering the Week 2 formula.
  3. Note that the speaker explains how the formula will drag down for Week 3 and beyond.
  4. Conclude that the final numerical value for Week 11 is not displayed before the clip ends.

Example

The speaker states the goal is to find the Week 11 forecast. Only the Week 1 seed and Week 2 formula setup are completed before the clip ends.

Common misconceptions

  • Expecting the final answer to be visible in the first part of the tutorial.
  • Assuming that entering the formula for Week 2 automatically calculates all subsequent weeks instantly without dragging/filling.
