Hi could you answer the blanks Serial correlation, also known as autocorrelation, describes the extent to which the result in one period of a time series is related to the result in the next period. A time series withhigh serial correlation is said to be very predictable from one period to the next. If the serial correlation is low (or near zero), the time series is considered to be much lesspredictable. For more information about serial correlation, see the book Ibbotson SBBI published by Morningstar.A research veterinarian at a major university has developed a new vaccine to protect horses from West Nile virus. An important question is: How predictable is the buildup ofantibodies in the horse's blood after the vaccination is given? A large random sample of horses were given the vaccination. The average antibody buildup factor (as determinedfrom blood samples) was measured each week after the vaccination for 8 weeks. Results are shown in the following time series.Original Time SeriesWeek1234678Buildup Factor2.34.66.27.58.09.410.612.1To construct a serial correlation, we simply use data pairs (x, y) where x = original buildup factor data and y = original data shifted ahead by 1 week. This gives us the followingdata set. Since we are shifting 1 week ahead, we now have 7 data pairs (not 8).Data for Serial Correlation6.28.09.42.34.64.67.510.612.16.27.58.09.410.6For convenience, we are given the following sums.Ex = 48.6, Ey = 58.4, Ex2 = 385.86, Ey2 = 526.98, Exy = 448.7(a) Use the sums provided (or a calculator with least-squares regression) to compute the equation of the sample least-squares line, ý = a + bx. (Use 4 decimal places.)If the buildup factor was x = 5.4 one week, what would you predict the buildup factor to be the next week? (Use 2 decimal places.)(b) Compute the sample correlation coefficient r and the coefficient of determination 2. (Use 4 decimal places.)Test p>0 at the 1% level of significance. (Use 2 decimal places.)critical t|ConclusionO Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that p > 0.O Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that p > 0.O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that p > 0.O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that p > 0.Would you say the time series of antibody buildup factor is relatively predictable from one week to the next? Explain.O Yes, the data support a high negative serial correlation and indicate a predictable original time series from one week to the next.O No, the data do not support a high serial correlation and do not indicate a predictable original time series from one week to the next.O Yes, the data support a high positive serial correlation and indicate a predictable original time series from one week to the next.
