I teach time series in one of my statistics courses.  I can use this image to illustrate a real-world example of a time series and discuss some of the components of time series that are present in the graph.

I tried Creative Commons, Unsplash and Flickr to search for an image.  All three are easy to use.  I used the key word “statistics business” to find this image of a time series.  Ironically, searching by key word “time series” just yielded images of clocks and watches.

    This is great Valerie and you’ve brought up a very good point when it comes to searching for images. Words we may think will yield certain results may show completely different options based upon how information is tagged and categorized. It’s great you were able to try different terms and find this image!
