About Statistics:
Statistics is a subject that deals with
collection, tabulation, presentation,
analysis and interpretation of the
numerical data. Statistics assignment
are generally used in our day-to-day
life to make decisions that may be
related to our own business or job,
personal work, and/or for some other
reasons, where these decisions are mostly
taking under the conditions of
uncertainty. For example, a businessman,
who is having sufficient experience in his
own business, can estimate the sales of a
particular product on the forthcoming week based on the sales of the same product during
the previous months. In this example, the businessman using statistics for estimating the
sales of a product only based on his experience, but not based on any standard statistical
models. Similarly, the usage of statistics is widely increased in each and every field that
deals with qualitative or quantitative data or both. In particular, due to a phenomenal
growth in science and technology, the application of statistical theory and its methods are
highly increasing in various disciplines such as Actuarial Science, Biostatistics, Business
Analytics, Econometrics, Epidemiology, Reliability Engineering, and Statistical Finance.

= 3.33
Let the average of origin be 𝑋1 i.e. 20.
Thus the trend values will be computed as under:

20 + 3.33(-1) – 16.67
20 + 3.33 (0) = 20.00
20 + 3.33 (1) = 23.33
20 + 3.33 (2) = 26.67
20 + 3.33 (3) = 30.00
20 + 3.33 (4) = 33.33
20 + 3.33 (5) = 36.67
From the above, it must be noticed that the required trend value for 2002 is 26.67.
Further, it must be seen that the trend values computed as above are the same as those
located from the trend line shown above.

(iv) Moving Average Method
Under this method, the trend line is fitted to a series on the basis of its moving averages
which represent the trend value of the series. The technique of calculating the moving
averages have been discussed at length in the chapter entitled “Measures of different
groups of a set of figures are computed in a moving manner. Each group ends with the last
item, and at each advancing step the group is included in the next group is left aside, and
the first group begins with the first item, and the last group ends with the last item, and at
each advancing step the first item of the preceding group ends with the last item, and at
each advancing step the first item of the preceding group is left aside, and one more item
that succeeds the group is included in the next group to get the moving averages thereof.
Each group may consist of 2,3,4,5,6,7,9 or 12 numbers of items depending on the size of
the series and purpose of the study. Symbolically these may be computed as follows :
In case of 3 tons:
MA1 =
𝑋1+ 𝑋2+ 𝑋3
3
, 𝑀𝐴2 =
𝑋2+ 𝑋3+ 𝑋4
3
MA3 =
𝑋3+ 𝑋4+ 𝑋5
3
and so on
In case of 5 tons: M.A1 =
(𝑋1+ 𝑋2 𝑋3+ 𝑋4+ 𝑋5)
5
,
MA2 =
(𝑋2+ 𝑋3+𝑋4+ 𝑋5+ 𝑋6)
5
, and son on
The total, and the average figure of each group are placed against the middle item of the
group in the adjacent column respectively. If the number of items in the groups is even,
then the total and average of groups are placed, in the first instance, just against the
middle points of the respective groups, and then the averages of the adjacent averages are
placed against the mid item of the respective groups. This process of averaging the
Copyright © 2010-2015 Tutorhelpdesk.com
averages is called centering, which is very much done in case of even numberly moving
averages.
It may be noted that the greater the number of items taken in the groups for averaging, the
greater will be the blank of moving averages for the extreme items of a series. For example,
in case of 9 yearly moving averages, we will not have any average figures for the first 4,
and last 4 items of the series. This is because, in such cases, the averages figures are
placed only against the middle item i.e. the 5th item leaving aside the 4 items before, and 4
items after in all the groups. Hence, unless the series is abnormally a lengthy one, it is
advisable to find the moving averages of smaller groups consisting of 3, or 5 items only so
that we may cover the entire series by the moving averages leaving aside only one, or two
items at each of the extremes. Further, for these few blank spaces we can estimate the
average values with greater degree of accuracy with reference to the nature of increase, or
decrease in the adjacent average figures.
