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 6 141.781 9 169.256 12 202.297 15 222.266 Let F(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 + 84.182. 220 210 200- 190 180 170 160 150 140 130 120 110 100 90 80 12 d's 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. What is the value of t in year 2012 ? (Recall that t is the number of years after 1995) Estimate the retails sales in the U. S. in 2012. billions of dollars. (Use the equation F(t) above and estimate to the nearest whole number) Use the model to predict the year in which retails sales will be $245 billion. > Next
