Some words of advice:

Carefully read and answer all the questions. You may use Excel or Minitab and Show your output or calculations. Grading will be based on correctness, clarity, and neatness. If you believe that you cannot answer a question without making some assumptions, state those assumptions in your answer

Consider the following data

$\backslash$table$[[$Year$,$Transplants,Forecast$],[1,45,],[2,55,],[3,52,],[4,62,],[5,67,],[6,68,]]$

a$)$ Use the Linear Trend $($LT$)$ to forecast the transplants $($linear regression$)$ from year $1$ through $7.$

b$)$ Use Holt's double exponential smoothing with smoothing confidents $=\mathrm{.}2$ and $=\mathrm{.}2$ to forecast one period ahead for year $1-7.$ Use regression analysis to determine the initial values of $S{o}_0$ and $G_0$

$F_{t,t},S_t,G_t,$ where

$S_t,D_t,1,S_{t1},G_{t1}$

$G_t,S_t,S_{t1},1,G_{t1}$
