Chapter 11.2, Problem 21Q

The growth of federal expenditures is one of the characteristic features of the U.S. economy. The rapidity of the increases from 2000 to 2015, as shown in the table below, suggests an exponential model.

2000 0 5.629
2001 1 5.770
2002 2 6.198
2003 3 6.760
2004 4 7.355

  • (a) Find the best-fitting exponential curve, using the method of least squares together with an appropriate linearizing transformation. Use the sums: 15i=0xi=120,15i=0lnyi=37.04571, and 15i=0xilnyi=307.6275

  • (b) Calculate the residuals for the years 2009 through 2015. What does this say about the exponential model?
