Before initiating mass production of the product, Eli Orchid has been ma rkettesting Orchid Relief in Orange Countv over the past 8 weeks. The daily demand values are recorded in the Excel le provided. Eli Orchid plans on using the sales data to predict sales for the upcoming week. An accurate forecast would be helpful in making arrangements for the companfs production prooesses and designing promotions. Before a forecasting model is built and a forecast for the next week is gen erated, the COO of the company:r has asked the data analvst for an exploratory analysis of the demand. Specificallv, the COD has asked the analvsti: 1. To provide a bar chart [with data [add chart here] labels rounded to two decimal points] showing the average demand for each week dav (Sum, l'vion., etc.} 2. To fit a simple linear regression model to the data and to provide its equation [d = a*t + b}, along with R2 3. To fit a multiple regression model with a dummv variable rep resenting the weekend, and to provide the adjusted R1: regression equation [d = a*t + b*w + c], along with R1. 4. To provide a runseries plot of the [add chart here] actual demand with simple regression and multiple regression overlav. 1 Round numbers to four decimal point: leg. 0.12343, unless e::|::nlii:itl1.r requested otherwise. 5. To write a short paragraph [write your paragraph here] explaining the observations and providing general recommendations for the next seven days demand forecast. 6. To fit a new multiple regression d= model with dummy variables for seven days in a week (Mon, Tue, ... R2= Sun), and to provide the regression equation (d = a*+ bix, + b,*2 + bj*3 + b4X4 + bsXs + beXs+ c), along with R2 7. To use all three models: M1 M2 M M1: d = 1.0356t + 339.29 Mon. M2: Tue. d = 0.7163t + 116.7679w + 315.02 Wed. 62 Thu M3: (the one considering Fri. weekdays) Sat. Sun. to predict the demand for seven days TOTAL: ahead (Mon, Tue, .., Sun) and find the total weekly demand. 8. Take advantage of the fact that new New: M: 311 T: 341 W: 357 Th: 363 F: 390 Sa: 490 Su: 492 demand data became available and MAPEMI: use this new data to compare the MAPEM2: forecasts using MAPE for days 57-63. MAPEMB:9. To provide a line chart with the actual demand (including the new data) and M2 and M3. 10. To choose the best model for [write your paragraph here] forecasting daily demand at Orchid Relief for 7 days ahead and write a short paragraph explaining your choice.E2 X =IF(OR($C2="Sat",$C2="Sun"),1,0) A B C D E F G H Day Date Weekday Daily Demand Weekend 2 1 4/25/2016 Mon 297 0 3 2 4/26/2016 Tue 293 0 Check the formula 4 3 4/27/2016 Wed 327 5 4 4/28/2016 Thu 315 6 5 4/29/2016 Fri 348 7 6 4/30/2016 Sat 147 8 7 5/1/2016 Sun 431 9 8 5/2/2016 Mon 283 10 9 5/3/2016 Tue 326 11 10 5/4/2016 Wed 317 12 11 5/5/2016 Thu 345 12 5/6/2016 Fri 355 14 13 5/7/2016 Sat 428 15 14 5/8/2016 Sun 454 16 15 5/9/2016 Mon 305 17 16 5/10/2016 Tue 310 19 17 5/11/2016 Wed 350 ic 18 5/12/2016 Thu 308 20 19 5/13/2016 Fri 366 21 20 5/14/2016 Sat 460 22 21 5/15/2016 Sun 427 23 22 5/16/2016 Mon 291 24 23 5/17/2016 Tue 325 25 24 5/18/2016 Wed 354 26 25 5/19/2016 Thu 322 27 26 5/20/2016 Fri 405 28 27 5/21/2016 Sat 442 29 28 5/22/2016 Sun 454 30 29 5/23/2016 Mon 318 31 30 5/24/2016 Tue 298 32 31 5/25/2016 Wed 355 33 32 5/26/2016 Thu 355 34 33 5/27/2016 Fri 374 35 34 5/28/2016 Sat 447 36 35 5/29/2016 Sun 463 37 36 5/30/2016 Mon 291 38 37 5/31/2016 Tue 319
