The dependent variable is the log base 10 of the demand for the drug, while the independent variable is years, where 1985 is coded as 0, 1986 is coded as 1, etc.
$\text {SUMMARY OUTPUT}$

$\begin{array} { l r }\text {Regression Statistics}\\ \text { Multiple R } & 0.996 \\ \text { R Square } & 0.992 \\ \text { Adjusted R Square } & 0.991 \\ \text { Standard Error } & 0.02831 \\ \text { Observations } & 12 \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{lc} & \text { Coefficients } \\\text { Intercept } & 1.44 \\\text { Coded Year } & 0.068\end{array}$

-Referring to Table 16-9, the fitted exponential trend equation to predict Y is ______ .
