Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coded method assigns a code of 1 to the first year in a time series, and then assigns codes of 2, 3, and so on to each subsequent year. Therefore, in this case, the year 1991 would be assigned a code of 1, and the code for the year 2010 would be 20. The year before 1991 (1989) would not be included in the time series, so A cannot be the answer. The year 1992 would be assigned a code of 2, and 2001 would be assigned a code of 11. Therefore, the only correct answer is B.
