Question: Given the model below: Period 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Demand 150 160 170 180 180 180 210 190

Given the model below:

Period 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Demand 150 160 170 180 180 180 210 190 190 170 250
Oil price 94 95 94 92 61 65 43 82 62 84 45

a. Compute the forecast for period 12 using a causal regression model and assuming that oil price for period 12 is 80. (Round regression coefficients and forecasts of demand to two decimal places.)

b. Create a graph of the gasoline sales and oil price data and include a line representing the regression model. In which period is gasoline sales least well predicted by oil price? What is the amount of this largest error? (Use your rounded regression coefficients and errors from Part a. Round your largest error answer to 2 decimals. Include the negative sign if that largest error is negative.)
