a)

A time series plot of the variable forecast only observing the variation. High variation is reasonable.

b)

A scatter plot of the original data with the X variable to see if it is linear.

c)

A time series plot of the residuals divided by the origonal data to observe the percentage changes over time. The lower the percentage change the more reasonable the forecast.
