The following table shows retail sales in drug stores in
billions of dollars in the U.S. for years since 1995.
Year | Retail Sales |

0 | 85.851 |
3 | 108.426 |

Let S(t)S(t) be the retails sales in billions of dollars in t years
since 1995. A linear model for the data is
F(t)=9.44t+84.182F(t)=9.44t+84.182.

Use the above scatter plot to decide whether the linear model fits
the data well.
Estimate the retails sales in the U. S. in
2014. billions of dollars.
Use the model to predict the year in which retails sales will be
$234 billion.
The scatter plot for the given data is as follows:
All the points are very close to or on the fitted regression line. So, the function is a good model for the data.
For 1995, t =0
For 1996, t =1
For 1997, t =2
Hence, for 2014, t =2014 - 1995 =19
Substitute t =19 in the regression equation: F(t)=9.44t+84.182
So, in 2014, F(t) =9.44(19) + 84.182 =263.542
Given: F(t) =234
Substituting it in the regression equation:
234 =9.44t + 84.182
9.44t =234 - 84.182 =149.818
t =149.818/9.44 =15.87 (rounded to 16)
The year in which t =16 is 1995+16 =2011
