To find the linear model using least-squares regression, we need to find the equation of the line that best fits the given data points.
First, let's label the year as x and the total sales as y. We can create a table with the given data:
Year (x) | Total Sales (y)
2006 | 184.8
2007 | 187.1
2008 | 188.7
2009 | 189.9
2010 | 190.9
2011 | 191.7
Now, we can calculate the mean of x and y:
mean of x = (2006 + 2007 + 2008 + 2009 + 2010 + 2011) ÷ 6 = 2008.5
mean of y = (184.8 + 187.1 + 188.7 + 189.9 + 190.9 + 191.7) ÷ 6 = 188.85
Next, we calculate the sum of the products of (x - mean of x) and (y - mean of y):
∑[(x - mean of x)(y - mean of y)] = (2006 - 2008.5)(184.8 - 188.85) + (2007 - 2008.5)(187.1 - 188.85) + (2008 - 2008.5)(188.7 - 188.85) + (2009 - 2008.5)(189.9 - 188.85) + (2010 - 2008.5)(190.9 - 188.85) + (2011 - 2008.5)(191.7 - 188.85)
= -5.7 + 3.79 + -0.52 + 2.79 + 4.17 + 5.27
= 9.66
Then, we calculate the sum of the squares of (x - mean of x):
∑[(x - mean of x)^2] = (2006 - 2008.5)^2 + (2007 - 2008.5)^2 + (2008 - 2008.5)^2 + (2009 - 2008.5)^2 + (2010 - 2008.5)^2 + (2011 - 2008.5)^2
= (-2.5)^2 + (-1.5)^2 + (-0.5)^2 + 0.5)^2 + (1.5)^2 + (2.5)^2
= 15
Using these values, we can calculate the slope of the line:
slope (b) = ∑[(x - mean of x)(y - mean of y)] / ∑[(x - mean of x)^2]
slope (b) = 9.66 / 15
slope (b) = 0.64
To find the y-intercept (a), we can use the formula:
a = mean of y - b * mean of x
a = 188.85 - 0.64 * 2008.5
a ≈ -36.88
So, the linear model for the data is y = 0.64x - 36.88.
For part (b), we can use the linear model to estimate the total sales for the year 2017.
x (year) = 2017
y (total sales) ≈ 0.64 * 2017 - 36.88
y ≈ 1290.88 - 36.88
y ≈ 1254
Therefore, the estimated total sales for the year 2017 is approximately 1254 billion dollars.
First, let's label the year as x and the total sales as y. We can create a table with the given data:
Year (x) | Total Sales (y)
2006 | 184.8
2007 | 187.1
2008 | 188.7
2009 | 189.9
2010 | 190.9
2011 | 191.7
Now, we can calculate the mean of x and y:
mean of x = (2006 + 2007 + 2008 + 2009 + 2010 + 2011) ÷ 6 = 2008.5
mean of y = (184.8 + 187.1 + 188.7 + 189.9 + 190.9 + 191.7) ÷ 6 = 188.85
Next, we calculate the sum of the products of (x - mean of x) and (y - mean of y):
∑[(x - mean of x)(y - mean of y)] = (2006 - 2008.5)(184.8 - 188.85) + (2007 - 2008.5)(187.1 - 188.85) + (2008 - 2008.5)(188.7 - 188.85) + (2009 - 2008.5)(189.9 - 188.85) + (2010 - 2008.5)(190.9 - 188.85) + (2011 - 2008.5)(191.7 - 188.85)
= -5.7 + 3.79 + -0.52 + 2.79 + 4.17 + 5.27
= 9.66
Then, we calculate the sum of the squares of (x - mean of x):
∑[(x - mean of x)^2] = (2006 - 2008.5)^2 + (2007 - 2008.5)^2 + (2008 - 2008.5)^2 + (2009 - 2008.5)^2 + (2010 - 2008.5)^2 + (2011 - 2008.5)^2
= (-2.5)^2 + (-1.5)^2 + (-0.5)^2 + 0.5)^2 + (1.5)^2 + (2.5)^2
= 15
Using these values, we can calculate the slope of the line:
slope (b) = ∑[(x - mean of x)(y - mean of y)] / ∑[(x - mean of x)^2]
slope (b) = 9.66 / 15
slope (b) = 0.64
To find the y-intercept (a), we can use the formula:
a = mean of y - b * mean of x
a = 188.85 - 0.64 * 2008.5
a ≈ -36.88
So, the linear model for the data is y = 0.64x - 36.88.
For part (b), we can use the linear model to estimate the total sales for the year 2017.
x (year) = 2017
y (total sales) ≈ 0.64 * 2017 - 36.88
y ≈ 1290.88 - 36.88
y ≈ 1254
Therefore, the estimated total sales for the year 2017 is approximately 1254 billion dollars.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's recalculate the linear model and the estimated total sales for the year 2017.
Using the same process as before, we find:
∑[(x - mean of x)(y - mean of y)] = 9.66
∑[(x - mean of x)^2] = 15
The slope (b) is:
b = ∑[(x - mean of x)(y - mean of y)] / ∑[(x - mean of x)^2]
b = 9.66 / 15
b = 0.644
The y-intercept (a) is:
a = mean of y - b * mean of x
a = 188.85 - 0.644 * 2008.5
a ≈ -1290.74
So, the linear model for the data is y = 0.644x - 1290.74.
To estimate the total sales for the year 2017 (x = 2017), we substitute x = 2017 into the linear model:
y ≈ 0.644(2017) - 1290.74
y ≈ 1299.37 - 1290.74
y ≈ 8.63
Therefore, the estimated total sales for the year 2017 is approximately 8.63 billion dollars.
Using the same process as before, we find:
∑[(x - mean of x)(y - mean of y)] = 9.66
∑[(x - mean of x)^2] = 15
The slope (b) is:
b = ∑[(x - mean of x)(y - mean of y)] / ∑[(x - mean of x)^2]
b = 9.66 / 15
b = 0.644
The y-intercept (a) is:
a = mean of y - b * mean of x
a = 188.85 - 0.644 * 2008.5
a ≈ -1290.74
So, the linear model for the data is y = 0.644x - 1290.74.
To estimate the total sales for the year 2017 (x = 2017), we substitute x = 2017 into the linear model:
y ≈ 0.644(2017) - 1290.74
y ≈ 1299.37 - 1290.74
y ≈ 8.63
Therefore, the estimated total sales for the year 2017 is approximately 8.63 billion dollars.
