APPLIED MATHEMATICS PRACTICALS #2


METHOD OF LEAST SQUARE
Question: Fit a straight line trend by the method of least square and estimate the
trend for the year 2015 for the following data.
Year 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010

Profit 114 130 126 144 138 156 164


Rs’000

Solution:
Step 1: Enter the data in a tabular format from Cell A1&A2 as Year & t respectively,
B1&B2 as Profit & y respectively along with values.

Fig 2.1 Year and Profit is entered


Step 2: Type x in cell C2 and find x by . Use formula in cell C3 “=A3-2007”
then drag till C9.

Step 5: Type 2015 in Cell A10, and find its respective x to find the straight line trend.

Fig 2.5 Found x for the year 2015

Step 6: Type “=E2+D2*C10” in cell B10 to find Straight line tread for the year 2015.

Fig 2.6 using straight line trend formula for the year 2015
Fig 2.6.1 Found straight line trend formula for the year 2015 as 200.

Result:
Thus, the straight line trend by the method of least square is found for the given data.
