Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    From the time series plot above, which options below best describe the features of the plot?

    • A.

      Increasing Trend

    • B.

      Decreasing Trend

    • C.

      Seasonal Variation

    • D.

      Random\Irregular Variation

    • E.

      Outliers

    • F.

      Structural Change

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Increasing Trend
    C. Seasonal Variation
    D. Random\Irregular Variation
    Explanation
    The time series plot shows a consistent upward movement over time, indicating an increasing trend. Additionally, there are repeated patterns or cycles in the data, suggesting the presence of seasonal variation. Furthermore, there are fluctuations that do not follow a specific pattern, indicating random or irregular variation. Therefore, the plot exhibits an increasing trend, seasonal variation, and random/irregular variation.

      Structural Change

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Increasing Trend
    C. Seasonal Variation
    D. Random\Irregular Variation
    Explanation
    The time series plot above shows an increasing trend, as the values are generally rising over time. Additionally, there is evidence of seasonal variation, as there are regular patterns or fluctuations that occur at certain intervals. There is also random or irregular variation present, as there are fluctuations that are not explained by the trend or seasonality. However, it is not possible to determine if there are outliers or structural changes based on the given information.

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Decreasing Trend
    C. Seasonal Variation
    D. Random\Irregular Variation
    Explanation
    The time series plot above shows a decreasing trend as the values gradually decrease over time. Additionally, there is evidence of seasonal variation as the plot exhibits regular patterns or fluctuations that occur at consistent intervals. Furthermore, there are random or irregular variations observed in the plot, indicating that there are unpredictable fluctuations that do not follow any specific pattern. However, the presence of outliers or structural changes cannot be determined based on the given information.

      Outliers

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Decreasing Trend
    C. Seasonal Variation
    E. Random Variation
    Explanation
    The time series plot shows a clear decreasing trend, as the data points consistently decrease over time. Additionally, there is evidence of seasonal variation, as there are regular patterns or cycles in the data. There is also random variation present, as the data points do not follow a strict pattern and fluctuate randomly. However, there is no evidence of a discontinuous structural change or outliers in the plot.
