From the time series plot above, which options below best describe the features of the plot?
- A.
Increasing Trend
- B.
Decreasing Trend
- C.
Seasonal Variation
- D.
Random\Irregular Variation
- E.
Outliers
- F.
Structural Change
Correct Answer(s)
A. Increasing Trend
C. Seasonal Variation
D. Random\Irregular VariationExplanation
The time series plot shows a consistent upward movement over time, indicating an increasing trend. Additionally, there are repeated patterns or cycles in the data, suggesting the presence of seasonal variation. Furthermore, there are fluctuations that do not follow a specific pattern, indicating random or irregular variation. Therefore, the plot exhibits an increasing trend, seasonal variation, and random/irregular variation.Rate this question:

Structural Change
Correct Answer(s)
A. Increasing Trend
C. Seasonal Variation
D. Random\Irregular VariationExplanation
The time series plot above shows an increasing trend, as the values are generally rising over time. Additionally, there is evidence of seasonal variation, as there are regular patterns or fluctuations that occur at certain intervals. There is also random or irregular variation present, as there are fluctuations that are not explained by the trend or seasonality. However, it is not possible to determine if there are outliers or structural changes based on the given information.Rate this question:
