a)Provide a short description of your data, make a proposal on how you can use this data to forecast future values, and discuss the necessary assumption you made in order to conduct meaningful forecasting.

b)Plot the time series and plot autocorrelation function using R. if the time series appear to be non-stationary, then also plot autocorrection function for the first-order difference of the original time series.

c)Comment on the data characteristics based on the results you got from the time series plot and ACF plots.
