Assignment 2

1-The Excel file Energy Production & Consumption provides data on production,
imports, exports, and consumption. Develop line charts for each variable and identify
key characteristics of the time series (e.g., trends or cycles). Are any of these time
series stationary? In forecasting the future, discuss whether all or only a portion of the
data should be used. Discuss your analysis on the data using visualization. (10)

2-Using the data in the Excel file Weddings construct scatter charts to determine
whether any linear relationship appears to exist between (1) the wedding cost and
attendance, (2) the wedding cost and the value rating, and (3) the couple’s income and
wedding cost only for the weddings paid for by the bride and groom. Then find the
best-fitting linear regression lines using the Excel Trendline tool for each of these
charts.
