The Seneca Children’s Fund (SCC) is a local charity that runs a summer camp for disadvantagedchildren. The fund’s board of directors has been working very hard over recentyears to decrease the amount of overhead expenses, a major factor in how charities arerated by independent agencies. The following data show the percentage of the money SCChas raised that was spent on administrative and fund-raising expenses over the last sevenyears.
a. Construct a time series plot. What type of pattern exists in the data?b. Use simple linear regression analysis to find the parameters for the line that minimizesMSE for this time series.c. Forecast the percentage of administrative expenses for year 8.d. If SCC can maintain its current trend in reducing administrative expenses, how longwill it take SCC to achieve a level of 5 percent or less?

- Use this data for the exercises that follow: In 2013, there were roughly 317 million citizens in the United States, and about 40 million were elderly (aged 65 and over).[34] 60. It is predicted that by 2030, one in five U.S. citizens will be elderly. How much greater will the chances of meeting an elderly person be at that time? What policy changes do you foresee if these statistics hold true?arrow_forwardIn retail, a store manager uses time series models to understand shopping trends. Review the scatter plot of the store’s sales from 2010 through 2021 to answer the questions. See attached as image.

What is the difference between these components? The model can be additive or multiplicative. When do you use each? Review the scatter plot of the exponential trend of the time series data. Do you observe a trend? If so, what type of trend do you observe? What predictions might you make about the store’s annual sales over the next few years?arrow_forwardA statistical program is recommended.

A graph has a horizontal axis labeled "Week" with values from 0 to 7 and a vertical axis labeled "Time Series Value" with values from 0 to 20. The time series plot contains a series of 6 points connected by line segments. The segments and the approximate points they connect are as follows. The segments start at (1, 17), go down and right to (2, 12), go up and right to (3, 14), go down and right to (4, 10), go up and right to (5, 16), and go down and right to stop at (6, 13).

Sales estimates are $100,000, $120,000, $140,000, and $160,000 for the respective quarters. Seasonal indices for the four quarters have been found to be1.30, .90, .70, and 1.10, respectively.arrow_forward
- In Talia's math class, the students have been challenged to ask a statistical question and then find the data to answer it. Talia's grandparents are aging, but still in good health, and she notices that people she knows seem to be living longer than in previous generations. She wonders if this is generally true and decides to use her math assignment as an opportunity to explore this question. She finds the following data from the United States Center for Disease Control website: Years since 1950 Life Expectancy at Birth 0 10 20 30 68.2 69.7 70.8 73.7 b) What is the slope of the regression line? 0.737 40 75.4 What does the slope mean in this situation?
