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.

X+y+z=2 X-y-z=2 x-y+z=-6

<h2>The first one:</h2>

solve for x.

Step 1: Add -y to both sides.

x+y+z+−y=2+−y

x+z=−y+2

Step 2: Add -z to both sides.

x+z+−z=−y+2+−z

x=−y−z+2

solve for y.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x+y+z+−x=2+−x

y+z=−x+2

Step 2: Add -z to both sides.

y+z+−z=−x+2+−z

y=−x−z+2

solve for z.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x+y+z+−x=2+−x

y+z=−x+2

Step 2: Add -y to both sides.

y+z+−y=−x+2+−y

z=−x−y+2

<h2>The second one:</h2>

solve for x.

Step 1: Add y to both sides.

x−y−z+y=2+y

x−z=y+2

Step 2: Add z to both sides.

x−z+z=y+2+z

x=y+z+2

solve for y.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x−y−z+−x=2+−x

−y−z=−x+2

Step 2: Add z to both sides.

−y−z+z=−x+2+z

−y=−x+z+2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−y /−1 = −x+z+2 /−1

y=x−z−2

solve for z.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x−y−z+−x=2+−x

−y−z=−x+2

Step 2: Add y to both sides.

−y−z+y=−x+2+y

−z=−x+y+2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−z /−1 = −x+y+2 /−1

z=x−y−2

<h2>The third one:</h2>

solve for x.

Step 1: Add y to both sides.

x−y+z+y=−6+y

x+z=y−6

Step 2: Add -z to both sides.

x+z+−z=y−6+−z

x=y−z−6

solve for y.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x−y+z+−x=−6+−x

−y+z=−x−6

Step 2: Add -z to both sides.

−y+z+−z=−x−6+−z

−y=−x−z−6

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−y /−1 = −x−z−6 /−1

y=x+z+6

solve for z.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x−y+z+−x=−6+−x

−y+z=−x−6

Step 2: Add y to both sides.

−y+z+y=−x−6+y

z=−x+y−6
