उत्तर
In the given problem, n = 8 (even), two middle t – values are 1980 and 1981, h – 1
u = `"t - mean of two middle values"/("h"/2) = ("t" - 1980.5)/(1/2)` = 2(t – 1980.5)
We obtain the following table.
| Year t |
No. of boxes (in ten thousands) yt |
u = 2(t – 1980.5) | u2 | uyt | Trend Value |
| 1977 | 1 | –7 | 49 | –7 | 1.5836 |
| 1978 | 0 | –5 | 25 | 0 | 2.5240 |
| 1979 | 3 | –3 | 9 | –9 | 3.4644 |
| 1980 | 8 | –1 | 1 | –8 | 4.4048 |
| 1981 | 10 | 1 | 1 | 10 | 5.3452 |
| 1982 | 4 | 3 | 9 | 12 | 6.2856 |
| 1983 | 5 | 5 | 25 | 25 | 7.2260 |
| 1984 | 8 | 7 | 49 | 56 | 8.1664 |
| Total | 39 | 0 | 168 | 79 |
From the table, n = 8, `sumy_"t" = 39, sumu = 0, sumu^2 = 168,sumuy_"t" = 79`
The two normal equations are: `sumy_"t" = "na"' + "b"' sumu "and" sumuy_"t", = a'sumu + b'sumu^2`
∴ 39 = 8a' + b'(0) ...(i) and
79 = a'(0) + b'(168) ...(ii)
From (i), a' = `(39)/(8)` = 4.875
From (ii), b' = `(79)/(168)` = 0.4702
∴ The equation of the trend line is yt = a' + b'u
i.e., yt = 4.875 + 0.4702 u, where u = 2(t – 1980.5).
