A) Perform the plots of import/export versus yearly & apply the moving average technique to smooth them out using PHSTATS.  

B) Please select one of the appropriate forecasting method to predict the import & export (use the data from 1985 to 2018 and try to predict the import/export number of 2019)

Answer #1

A) PLOTS of import/ export versus year -

IMPORT (in USD Million) 6,00,000.00 5,00,000.00 4,00,000.00 3,00,000.00 2,00,000.00 1,00,000.00 Year EXPORT (in USD Million)

Using moving average of order 3 for both import and export -
