Let the equation of trend line be y = a + bx   .....(i)

Here n = `square` (even), two middle years are `square` and 2011, and h = `square`

The normal equations are Σy = na + bΣx

As Σx = 0, a = `square`

Also, Σxy = aΣx + bΣx2

As Σx = 0, b = `square`

Substitute values of a and b in equation (i) the equation of trend line is `square`

To find trend value for the year 2016, put x = `square` in the above equation.

y = `square`


Complete the following activity to fit a trend line to the following data by the method of least squares.

Year 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983
Number of deaths 0 6 3 8 2 9 4 5 10

Solution:

Here n = 9. We transform year t to u by taking u = t - 1979. We construct the following table for calculation :

Year t Number of deaths xt u = t - 1979 u2 uxt
1975 0 - 4 16 0
1976 6 - 3 9 - 18
1977 3 - 2 4 - 6
1978 8 - 1 1 - 8
1979 2 0 0 0
1980 9 1 1 9
1981 4 2 4 8
1982 5 3 9 15
1983 10 4 16 40
  `sumx_t` =47 `sumu`=0 `sumu^2=60` `square`

The equation of trend line is xt= a' + b'u.

The normal equations are,

`sumx_t = na^' + b^' sumu`              ...(1)

`sumux_t = a^'sumu + b^'sumu^2`      ...(2)

Here, n = 9, `sumx_t = 47, sumu= 0, sumu^2 = 60`

By putting these values in normal equations, we get

47 = 9a' + b' (0)       ...(3)

40 = a'(0) + b'(60)      ...(4)

From equation (3), we get a' = `square`

From equation (4), we get b' = `square`

∴ the equation of trend line is xt = `square`
