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. 36912158090100110120130140150160170180190200210220 Use the above scatter plot to decide whether the linear model fits the data well.

• The function is not a good model for the data
• The function is a good model for the data.

Estimate the retails sales in the U. S. in 2012. billions of dollars. Use the model to predict the year in which retails sales will be $231 billion.
