Morning House is a mail-order firm which carries a wide range of rather expensive art objects for homes and offices. It operate problems would be greatly reduced. Since it takes approximately six weeks to receive 90% of the response to a given campaign, an accurate prediction of total sales made as late as the end of the first week of receiving orders would be useful. The first week’s sales and total sales of the last 12 campaigns of the firm are shown below. Can the first week’s sales be used to predict total sales? First week’s Total Campaign Sales Sales 1 32 167 2 20 91 3 114 560 4 66 335 5 18 70 6 125 650 7 83 401 8 65 320 9 94 470 10 5 15 11 39 210 12 50 265 --------------------------------------------

To the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the reasonableness of total itemized deductions depends on the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Large deductions, which include charity and medical deductions, are more reasonable for taxpayers with large adjusted gross incomes. If a taxpayer claims larger th average itemized deductions for a given level of income, the chances of an IRS audit are increased. Data (in thousands of dollars) on adjusted gross income and the average or reasonable amount of itemized deductions follow.

Total DVD and Blu-ray disc sales in 2009 were $8.72 billion. For the purposes of this problem, you will combine DVD and Blue-ray disk sales into one category of DVD sales. A study by In-Stat predicted that "physical disc sales will decline by $4.7 billion by 2014," and that "streaming, on the other hand, should grow from its current $2.2 billion to $6.3 billion over the same time period (2009–2014). d. Write an equation that represents the linear model for streaming videos. Let S = the total sales of streaming videos in billions of dollars, and t = the number of years after 2009. e. In what year do the models predict streaming video sales to exceed DVD sales?
