Answer: C. there is still not enough evidence to conclude that the time series is stationary.
Step-by-step explanation: First thing to note for a time series plot is that it is required to select a suitable forecast method for the data set being considered.
A stationary time series means that the process generating the data set has a constant mean and the variations are constant over time. This means all evidence is present leading to the conclusion that the entire time series is stationary. A stationary time series thus exhibits an horizontal pattern which enables an appropriate forecast method to be selected for this type of pattern.
A horizontal pattern of a time series plot indicates that a data set fluctuates around a constant mean for a period of time. This period of time may however not be the entire time of the time series or take the entire data set into consideration and might just be a reflection of a portion of the time series hence why it can not be explicitly considered to be stationary. This means that a horizontal pattern can change into a seasonal or trending pattern if more variables/data are added over time.
For instance, a manufacturer sells a certain amount of products over a 10 week period and the resulting pattern of a time series plot is horizontal, then from the 11th week to the 15th week he gets a sharp and continuous increase in sales. This change in level will therefore change the time series plot from horizontal to trending making it more difficult to select a suitable forecast method.
Answer:
119
Step-by-step explanation:
The nearest whole numbers from those listed are
10
3
106
The estimated sum = 119
The actual sum is 118.668
When you are doing a test, being able to estimate is a very powerful skill. 119 is close enough to the actual answer that you know your actual answer is likely correct.

Four states out of 50
4 / 50 * 100 = 8 per cent.
Answer:
13/14 is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the lcm for both:
<u>9 x 7 </u> = <u>63</u>
10 x 7 70
<u>13 x 5 </u> = <u>65</u>
14 x 5 70
so therefore 13/14 is greater since it has a greater value when finding the lcm
