Section 1.3
1. Assume that the data can be modeled by a straight line and that the trend continues indefinitely. Use two data points to find such a line and then answer the question.
Finance. The approximate number of tax returns examined by the IRS in 1996 was 1.9 million. IN 2006 it was 1.2 million. (let x = 0 correspond to 1996, and estimate the number of examined returns in 2008)
2. Business. The accompanying table shows the daily newspaper circulation (in millions)*:
YEAR CIRCULATION
1990 62.3
1995 58.2
2000 55.8
2001 55.6
2002 55.2
2003 55.2
2004 54.5
2005 53.3
a-Find a linear model for the data, with x = 0, corresponding to 1991
b- Assuming the trend continues indefinitely, estimate the circulation in 2010 and 2012
3. Finance. The accompanying table gives the median household income (in thousand of dollars) for women living without a spouse (this means that 50% of females earn more than the median and 50% earn less than that amount) for various years*:
