goede berekening en goede conclusies van de student.
De student heeft de simulatie meerdere keren uitgevoerd en we zien dat de trend telkens verschillend is bij elke simulatie. Het gaat hier inderdaad over een schijnbaar trendmatig verloop, dat eigenlijk aan toeval te wijten is. Er is inderdaad geen seizoenaliteit zoals de student aangeeft.
De student kon ook nog vermelden dat de blauwe lijn in het begin sterk fluctueert , maar dat deze op lange termijn min of meer constant blijft rond 0.50.

correcte berekening en goede interpretatie:
Beide tijdreeksen zijn niet stationair, er is nl geen systematiek.
We vinden ook geen seizoenaliteit terug. We kunnen een trend waarnemen die op lange termijn naar boven gaat, maar niet via een stationaire tijdreeks.
