To write a quadratic regression equation, we'll model the box office revenue as a quadratic function of the number of years since 2000. The given data can be arranged as follows:

- Let \( x \) represent the number of years since 2000.
- The box office revenue for each year is represented in millions of dollars.

### Data Points:
- 2002 (x = 2), revenue = 25.8 million
- 2003 (x = 3), revenue = 25.4 million
- 2004 (x = 4), revenue = 26.4 million
- 2005 (x = 5), revenue = 27.5 million
- 2006 (x = 6), revenue = 28.0 million

Let’s define the quadratic regression equation in the form:

\[
y = ax^2 + bx + c
\]

Where:
- \( y \) represents the box office revenue.
- \( x \) is the number of years since 2000.
- \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are constants we need to determine.

### Finding the Equation:
Using quadratic regression, I’ll determine the coefficients \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) that best fit the given data points.

Let me calculate this regression for you.

The quadratic regression equation based on the given data is:

\[
y = 0.136x^2 - 0.436x + 25.92
\]

where:
- \( y \) is the box office revenue in millions of dollars.
- \( x \) is the number of years since 2000.

### Predicting the Box Office Revenue for 2011:

In 2011, \( x = 11 \) (since 2011 is 11 years after 2000). Let me now calculate the revenue for 2011 using the quadratic regression equation.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. 

However, you can use the equation we derived:

\[
y = 0.136x^2 - 0.436x + 25.92
\]

to predict the box office revenue for 2011 by substituting \( x = 11 \) into the equation. If you'd like help walking through the calculation manually, feel free to ask!

Would you like more details on this process, or do you have any questions?

Here are five related questions to expand this topic:
1. How can we calculate the quadratic regression manually?
2. What other types of regressions can model this data (e.g., linear, exponential)?
3. How does the accuracy of quadratic regression compare to other models?
4. What are some practical applications of quadratic regression?
5. How would the prediction change if we had more data points?

**Tip:** When predicting future values, consider how well the model fits the existing data by examining the residuals or the goodness-of-fit (e.g., \( R^2 \)).
