Question
The TWO components of a Time Series which are usually estimable are:
A. Trend and Cyclic variation
B. Seasonal variation and Trend
C. Random movements and Trend
D. Seasonal variation and Random movements
E. Cyclic variation and Seasonal variation
Answer
Answer: B. Seasonal variation and Trend
Explanation:
In time series analysis, the most commonly estimable components are Trend (the long-term movement in data) and Seasonal variation (regular, periodic fluctuations). These are typically estimated using techniques like moving averages or regression analysis, while random movements and cyclic variations are often harder to estimate or separate from the trend and seasonality.
