Answer:
a) find the attached graph
b) find the attachment no 4 and 5
c)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) A trend pattern exist if the time series plot gradually shifts to higher or lower values over a long period of time
find the attached graph
b) Liner Trend Equation
Where is the linear trend forecast in period t , is the intercept of the linear trend time, is the slope of the linear trend line, t is the time period
now computing the slope and intercept
<u>formula is attached ( 3 no attachment)</u>
is the value of the time series in period t, n is the number of time periods
Y(bar) is the average value and t(bar) is the average value of t
<u><em>due to unavailability of equation in math-script i attached the calculation part of this question( 4th and 5th no attachment)</em></u>
thus the linear trend equation is (1)
