Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 20P
The Seneca Children’s Fund (SCF) is a local charity that runs a summer camp for disadvantaged children. The fund’s board of directors has been working very hard over recent years to decrease the amount of overhead expenses, a major factor in how charities are rated by independent agencies. The following data show the percentage of the money SCF has raised that was spent on administrative and fund-raising expenses over the past seven years:
- 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 minimizes MSE for this time series. - c. Forecast the percentage of administrative expenses for year 8.
- d. If SCF can maintain its current trend in reducing administrative expenses, how long will it take SCF to achieve a level of 5% or less?

Construct a time series plot that shows trends over time for each of the three grade levels. Graph each of the three-time series on the same set of axes, using different colors to distinguish the different grade levels. Either label the time series in the plot or include a legend to indicate which time series corresponds to which grade level.
Write a paragraph based on the plot from Part (b). Discuss the similarities and differences for the three grade levels
