Ch 04 HW 3 Forecasting problem Method: Linear Trend optimized with Solver - pick your own initial values for the y-axis intercept (a) and slope parameter (b) before optimizing the model The data for this problem is shown in the table below. Note: changes from the original problem data are highlighted in yellow. DO NOT USE the "brute force" method shown in Example 8 on pages 120- 121. DO NOT USE the linear regression function from Excel's ToolPak or the LINEST Excel function. Set up a forecasting table and use Excel Solver to optimize it.
