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.
I do not understand what you are asking but I am going to assume that you are trying to simplify the equation.
First, write the equation.
(4/3)b + 2 = 4 - (1/3)b
Add (1/3)b to each side.
(5/3)b + 2 = 4
Subtract 2 on each side.
(5/3)b = 2
Divide by (5/3) on each side
b = 1.2
b = 1.2 is your final answer.
There is a problem with your question. it doesn't make sense ???
Yes, as long as it's between the two numbers
51) -4 and 1
52) -1 and -3
53) -9 and -10
Answer:
b = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
use distributive property to multiply the -2 with the numbers in the parentheses
3 - 2b + 4 = 2 - 7b
7 - 2b = 2 - 7b
add 2b to both sides
7 = 2- 5b
subtract 2 from both sides
5 = -5b
divide by -5
b = -1
