1.

A company that manufactures steel observed the production of steel (in

metric tons) represented by the time series
Year : 1990 91 92 93 94 95 96
Prod. Of steel : 60 72 75 65 80 85 95
a) Find the linear equation that describes the trend in the production of
the steel by the company.
b) Estimate the production of steel in 1997 (y=76+4.857x ,
95.428)
2. Fit a straight line trend by the method of least squares 7 estimate the
earning for the year1998
Years : 1989 90 91 92 93 94 95 96
Earnings( in lakhs) : 38 40 65 72 69 60 87 95
(y=65.7+3.66x, 106.08)
3. The sales(in lakhs) of a company are given below
Years : 1990 91 92 93 94 95 96
Sales : 32 47 65 88 132 190 275
Fit a exponential trend I,e Y=a.bx & estimate the value for 1997
(1.974x0.15x, 385.9)
5. Calculate 3 yearly , 4,&2 yearly moving averages for the following data
Years : 1990 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99
Revenue : 3 6 10 8 7 12 14 14 18 19
4. A company that specializes in the production of petrol filters has recorded the
following production (in 1000) units over the last 7 years
Years : 1994 95 96 97 98 99 2000
Production : 42 49 62 75 92 122 158
Fit a second degree parabola & estimate the production for2004
(Y=80.05+18.71X-1.417X2 , 320.42)
