(a) |
Use Excel, MegaStat, or MINITAB to fit three trends (linear, quadratic, exponential) to the time series. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round the intermediate calculations.Round your final answers to 4 decimal places.) |
FILL IN "_____" IN LINEAR AND QUADRATIC
Linear | yt = -498.035t + ____ |
Quadratic | yt = -146.25t2 + 671.96t + _____ |
Exponential | yt = 22934e -.025t |
(b-1) | Use each of the three fitted trend equations to make numerical forecasts for the next 3 years. (Do not round the intermediate calculations.Round your final answers to 1 decimal place.) |
FILL IN EXPONENTIAL
t | Linear | Quadratic | Exponential |
8 | 18829.3 | 17074.3 | |
9 | 18331.3 | 15260.0 | |
10 | 17833.2 | 13153.2 | |
Lets do it in excel ,
so the regression equation for linear is Y = 22813.57 - 498.035*Time
simillarly we fit the equation for quadratic and exponential
as
the equation is Y = exp(-2.976) + 21558.55
Alright Dude, If that worked for you... don't forget to give THUMBS UP.(that will work for me!)
