Subscriber Growth Forecasting The marketing director of an online streaming platform has been tracking the number of subscribers (in thousands) at the end of each quarter over the past two years. The data are as follows: Quarter (t) Subscribers (y) in 1000s 1 250 2 275 3 295 4 290 5 305 6 325 7 340 8 370 Construct a time series plot of the subscriber growth over time. What type of pattern exists in the data? Does the plot show any irregularities or deviations from the general trend? Use simple linear regression analysis to find the parameters for the line that minimizes the Mean Squared Error (MSE) for this time series. Provide the estimated regression equation in the form: What is the average increase in subscribers per quarter during this period? Interpret the slope of the regression line in terms of customer acquisition. Based on the regression model, compute an estimate of the number of subscribers expected in Quarter 9. Round your answer to the nearest thousand
