1. The actual number of help-wanted ads in a local newspaper was 1682, 1963, 2451, and 3205 for quarters I through IV, respectively, of the preceding year. The cor- responding deseasonalized values are 2320, 2362, 2205, and 2414, respectively. Based on this information, what seasonal index is associated with each quarter?
2. The trend equation yˆ 5 2050 1 12x has been developed for the number of vehicles using the ferry ser- vice at a national seashore each year. (The years have been coded so that 1997 corresponds to x 5 1.) If the seasonal indexes for quarters I through IV are 55.0, 130.0, 145.0, and 70.0, respectively, estimate the usage volume for each quarter of 2014.
3. The trend equation yˆ 5 150 1 12x 1 0.01x2 has been developed for annual unit sales of a filtering system component used by municipal water authorities. The years have been coded so that 2001 corresponds to x 5 1. If the seasonal indexes for quarters I through IV are 85.0, 110.0, 125.0, and 80.0, respectively, estimate the unit sales for each quarter of 2015.
