Abstract In a typical foreign exchange transaction, a party purchases some quantity of one currency by paying with some quantity of another currency. Conversion rates of currency always fluctuate across the world. Considering this we have focused on conversion of US dollars to different currencies like INR, CNY, RUB, EUR, JPY of the past 5 years. Our focus is to check if the currencies fluctuate in harmony with one another or not using ANOVA. We have used P- diagram to depict the control factors and the noise factors that affect currency conversion rates. This analysis helps to understand the variation of currency rates in the last 5 years. Which we have analyze and study the trends of currency rates using statistical tools like boxplot, time series curve, ANOVA. Methodology The exploration of data started with collecting data on country forex reserves and commodities. A large data set was obtained from the website investing.com. The study was carried out taking the data of USD versus other currencies of the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. We created a P-diagram prior our analysis. It is used to analyze Outputs considering Inputs, Noise Factors and Control Factors. Here, the P-diagram is used to identify the various sources of variations in inflation rates, bank interest rates, government policies/relations, terms of trade, conversion rates, Country Forex Reserves and Forex and Commodities. By using a time-series plot, we can view the fluctuation in currency rates of 5 countries with USD over a period of 5 years. A time series is a set of data on a variable measured over successive periods of time. The data collected in this study fits the definition of time series. Time series analysis comprises a method to discover patterns in the historical data and then predict the pattern into the future. Time series includes components like trend, cyclical, seasonal and irregular. The ANOVA has been used to measure any significant variations in the mean of change on all the currencies In our analysis, H 0 1 2 3 4 5 Ha: at least one mean is different. Results are summarized in the form of tables. Graphs and suitable charts were used to present the data graphically so that interpretation could be better.

Time Series Below (Fig 1-5) we see Time Series graphs from 2018-2022 on x-axis which plots the change of average prices of currencies on y-axis within a 3-σ of mean line and the outliers can be seen below which can demonstrate major movements of a currency in 1 month period. Fig 1 Fig 2 Fig. 3
Fig 4 Fig 5
Boxplots Below (Fig 6-10) charts the movement of currencies in a calendar year within 1 box, the bigger the box more the fluctuations. The Box plots show the mean, median, maximum and minimum, upper quartile, lower quartile. This gives us a summary understanding of the data. Fig 6 Fig 7

Results and Discussion ANOVA was conducted to evaluate if the movement between currencies is similar or not by calculating means of change in currencies over a 5-year period. In our analysis, H 0 1 2 3 4 5 Ha: at least one movement in currency is different. In our result we found that p-value=0.7652>α=0.05, hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis indicating that the currencies fluctuate at the same rate of 5-year. In addition, we forecasted the value of all currencies using 3-month weighted average and Regression analysis for 1 st December and below are the % change from the actual.

Scope of work Like we did analysis on currencies above in the report, in future we can predict currency rates accurately by sourcing quality data from government or verified sites and correlate them with the control factors as mentioned in p-diagram. But in the end, we would never be able to predict the exact rate as there are many noise factors that are not at all in our hands.
