Answer:

Option C) 0.684      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Three previous July values:

110, 150, 130

Average July value =

[tex]=\dfrac{110+150+130}{3} = 130[/tex]

Average over three years = 190

We have to find the seasonal index of July.

Formula:

[tex]=\dfrac{\text{Average July value}}{\text{Average over 3 years}}\\\\=\dfrac{130}{190}\\\\=0.684[/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is

Option C) 0.684
