From the given table, we have that:
a) The linear regression equation is: y = 0.3756x + 31.2768.
b) The prediction is: 38 million in 2013.
How to find the equation of linear regression using a calculator?
To find the equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator.
For this problem, considering 1995 as year 0, the points are:
(0, 31.7), (5, 32.6), (10, 34.8), (14, 36.9).
Hence, inserting these points in the calculator, the linear regression equation is:
y = 0.3756x + 31.2768.
2013 is 18 years after 1995, hence the prediction is:
y = 0.3756(18) + 31.2768 = 38 million.
