(a)
Construct a time series plot.
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),

A statistics instructor at a large western university would like to examine the relationship
(if any) between the number of optional homework problems students do during the
semester and their final course grade. She randomly selects 12 students for study and
asks them to keep track of the number of these problems completed during the course of
the semester. At the end of the class each student's total marks is recorded along with their
final grade. The data follow in Table 2.

Management at Jagoda Wholesalers, in Calgary, Canada, has used time-series regression based on point-of-sale data to forecast sales for the next 4 quarters. 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.

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.

- Scenario: Album Sales: A study was done to see whether getting radio airtime and spending money on advertisements accurately predicts the number of album copies sold. A random sample of 200 artists’ albums were tracked on the number of times their songs play on the central radio station, how much money (in thousands) they spent on advertisements, as well as the number (in thousands) of album copies were sold.

- Age is a variable that is important in most if not all epidemiological studies of health because our health is so strongly related to age. The following table is a two-dimensional table that summarizes the distribution of age in a certain population every five years starting with 1970 (the first row) to 2000 (the last row). Each row contains information for one year. Reading across the row (over the column), the table shows the number of individuals in each age group. If you choose this option, please do the following: (a) using the data provided, produce a new two-dimensional table that shows, for each year, the percentage of that year’s total population in each age interval (Tip! In each row, the sum of your percentages should be 100%); and (b) write a brief report (a paragraph or so, no more!) on what these summaries suggest regarding the possibility (or lack thereof) of changes over time in the age distribution of this population.
