a) Calculate a three-year moving average to the data (add a column to the table)

b) Using a smoothing coefficient of W = 0.75, exponentially smooth the series
(add a column to the table, use data analysis to smooth)

c) Plot the results from a) and b) with the time series.

d) Compute a quadratic trend forecasting equation and plot the predicted result with the data against the coded years.

e) Compute an exponential trend forcasting equation and plot the predicted results with the data against the coded years.

f) Compute a second -order autoregressive model, test for the significance of the second-order
autoregressive parameter.

g) Compute a first-order autoregressive model, test for the significance of the first-oder
autoregressive parameter, and plot the predicted results with the data against the coded years.

a) Construct a scatter diagram

b) Using Data Analysis/Regression, find the regression coefficients b0 and b1.

c) Graph the regression line on the scatter diagram

d) Interpret the meaning of b0 and b1 in this problem.

e) Predict the sales per store for a day in which the temperature is 83F.

f) determine the coefficient of determination and interpret its meaning.

g) Graph the residuals in this model and determine
the adequacy of the model (linearity).

h) At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence
of a linear relationship between sales and temperature?
(based on t-test or p-value)

In order to test the strength of four brands of trash bags,
one-pound weights were placed into bags, one at a time
until the bag broke.
A total of 40 bags, 10 of each brand, were used. The data in the table below
gives the weight required to break the trash bag.

a) Using Data analysis/Anova, test at the level of significance 0.05 for the evidence
of the differences in the mean strength of the four brands of trash bags .

b) If appropriate, determine which brands differ in mean strength

Use Turkey-Kramer procedure.
