To write a linear regression equation for the "full service" restaurant, we need to find the equation of a straight line that best fits the data points for the revenue over time.
Given that x = 0 represents the year 1990, we will use x = 5 for the year 1995, and so on. Let's denote the year as x and the revenue as y.
The given data points are:
(5, 92), (9, 116), (10, 129), (11, 140), (12, 144), (13, 152), (14, 156).
Using these data points, we can use the least squares method to find the equation of the line:
Step 1: Calculate the means (average) of x and y:
mean(x) = (5 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14) / 7 = 11
mean(y) = (92 + 116 + 129 + 140 + 144 + 152 + 156) / 7 = 133
Step 2: Calculate the sum of products (x - mean(x))(y - mean(y)) for each data point:
(5 - 11)(92 - 133) = -36
(9 - 11)(116 - 133) = -34
(10 - 11)(129 - 133) = -8
(11 - 11)(140 - 133) = 7
(12 - 11)(144 - 133) = 11
(13 - 11)(152 - 133) = 38
(14 - 11)(156 - 133) = 69
Step 3: Calculate the sum of squares (x - mean(x))^2 for each data point:
(5 - 11)^2 = 36
(9 - 11)^2 = 4
(10 - 11)^2 = 1
(11 - 11)^2 = 0
(12 - 11)^2 = 1
(13 - 11)^2 = 4
(14 - 11)^2 = 9
Step 4: Calculate the slope (b) of the line:
b = sum of products / sum of squares
b = (-36 - 34 - 8 + 7 + 11 + 38 + 69) / (36 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 9)
b = 135 / 55
b ≈ 2.45
Step 5: Calculate the y-intercept (a) of the line:
a = mean(y) - b * mean(x)
a = 133 - 2.45 * 11
a = 133 - 26.95
a ≈ 106.05
Therefore, the linear regression equation for the "full service" restaurant is:
y = 2.45x + 106.05
Given that x = 0 represents the year 1990, we will use x = 5 for the year 1995, and so on. Let's denote the year as x and the revenue as y.
The given data points are:
(5, 92), (9, 116), (10, 129), (11, 140), (12, 144), (13, 152), (14, 156).
Using these data points, we can use the least squares method to find the equation of the line:
Step 1: Calculate the means (average) of x and y:
mean(x) = (5 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14) / 7 = 11
mean(y) = (92 + 116 + 129 + 140 + 144 + 152 + 156) / 7 = 133
Step 2: Calculate the sum of products (x - mean(x))(y - mean(y)) for each data point:
(5 - 11)(92 - 133) = -36
(9 - 11)(116 - 133) = -34
(10 - 11)(129 - 133) = -8
(11 - 11)(140 - 133) = 7
(12 - 11)(144 - 133) = 11
(13 - 11)(152 - 133) = 38
(14 - 11)(156 - 133) = 69
Step 3: Calculate the sum of squares (x - mean(x))^2 for each data point:
(5 - 11)^2 = 36
(9 - 11)^2 = 4
(10 - 11)^2 = 1
(11 - 11)^2 = 0
(12 - 11)^2 = 1
(13 - 11)^2 = 4
(14 - 11)^2 = 9
Step 4: Calculate the slope (b) of the line:
b = sum of products / sum of squares
b = (-36 - 34 - 8 + 7 + 11 + 38 + 69) / (36 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 9)
b = 135 / 55
b ≈ 2.45
Step 5: Calculate the y-intercept (a) of the line:
a = mean(y) - b * mean(x)
a = 133 - 2.45 * 11
a = 133 - 26.95
a ≈ 106.05
Therefore, the linear regression equation for the "full service" restaurant is:
y = 2.45x + 106.05

Apologies for the incorrect response earlier. Let's try solving it again using a different approach.
We will use the method of least squares to find the equation of the line that best fits the data points for the "full service" restaurant.
First, let's assign the year as x and the revenue as y.
The data points are as follows:
(1995, 92), (1999, 116), (2000, 129), (2001, 140), (2002, 144), (2003, 152), (2004, 156)
To use linear regression, we need to standardize the years by subtracting the value of the first year (1990) from each year (x).
The standardized data points are:
(x-1995, y-92), (x-1990, y-116), (x-1990, y-129), (x-1990, y-140), (x-1990, y-144), (x-1990, y-152), (x-1990, y-156)
Let's denote the standardized years as X and the standardized revenue as Y.
The standardized data points are as follows:
(X, Y) = (-5, 0), (-1, 24), (0, 37), (1, 48), (2, 52), (3, 60), (4, 64)
Using these data points, we can calculate the slope and y-intercept of the line using the formulas:
slope (b) = (n*sum(X * Y) - sum(X) * sum(Y)) / (n*sum(X^2) - (sum(X))^2)
y-intercept (a) = mean(Y) - b * mean(X)
where n is the number of data points.
Calculating the necessary sums:
sum(X) = -5 + (-1) + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 4
sum(Y) = 0 + 24 + 37 + 48 + 52 + 60 + 64 = 285
sum(X * Y) = (-5 * 0) + (-1 * 24) + (0 * 37) + (1 * 48) + (2 * 52) + (3 * 60) + (4 * 64) = 547
sum(X^2) = (-5)^2 + (-1)^2 + 0^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 = 55
mean(X) = 4 / 7 ≈ 0.57
mean(Y) = 285 / 7 ≈ 40.71
Using these values, we can now calculate the slope (b) and y-intercept (a):
b = (7 * 547 - 4 * 285) / (7 * 55 - 4^2) ≈ 9.81
a = 40.71 - 9.81 * 0.57 ≈ 35.28
Therefore, the linear regression equation for the "full service" restaurant is approximately:
y = 9.81x + 35.28
We will use the method of least squares to find the equation of the line that best fits the data points for the "full service" restaurant.
First, let's assign the year as x and the revenue as y.
The data points are as follows:
(1995, 92), (1999, 116), (2000, 129), (2001, 140), (2002, 144), (2003, 152), (2004, 156)
To use linear regression, we need to standardize the years by subtracting the value of the first year (1990) from each year (x).
The standardized data points are:
(x-1995, y-92), (x-1990, y-116), (x-1990, y-129), (x-1990, y-140), (x-1990, y-144), (x-1990, y-152), (x-1990, y-156)
Let's denote the standardized years as X and the standardized revenue as Y.
The standardized data points are as follows:
(X, Y) = (-5, 0), (-1, 24), (0, 37), (1, 48), (2, 52), (3, 60), (4, 64)
Using these data points, we can calculate the slope and y-intercept of the line using the formulas:
slope (b) = (n*sum(X * Y) - sum(X) * sum(Y)) / (n*sum(X^2) - (sum(X))^2)
y-intercept (a) = mean(Y) - b * mean(X)
where n is the number of data points.
Calculating the necessary sums:
sum(X) = -5 + (-1) + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 4
sum(Y) = 0 + 24 + 37 + 48 + 52 + 60 + 64 = 285
sum(X * Y) = (-5 * 0) + (-1 * 24) + (0 * 37) + (1 * 48) + (2 * 52) + (3 * 60) + (4 * 64) = 547
sum(X^2) = (-5)^2 + (-1)^2 + 0^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 = 55
mean(X) = 4 / 7 ≈ 0.57
mean(Y) = 285 / 7 ≈ 40.71
Using these values, we can now calculate the slope (b) and y-intercept (a):
b = (7 * 547 - 4 * 285) / (7 * 55 - 4^2) ≈ 9.81
a = 40.71 - 9.81 * 0.57 ≈ 35.28
Therefore, the linear regression equation for the "full service" restaurant is approximately:
y = 9.81x + 35.28
