Given:
The regression equation is:
[tex]y=-25x+436[/tex]
The given point is (17,3.8).
To find:
The residual for the given point.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]y=-25x+436[/tex]
Substituting [tex]x=17[/tex], we get
[tex]y=-25(17)+436[/tex]
[tex]y=-425+436[/tex]
[tex]y=11[/tex]
The predicted value at [tex]x=17[/tex] is 11.
The given point is (17,3.8). It means the observed value at [tex]x=17[/tex] is 3.8.
Formula for residual:
Residual = Observed value - Predicted value
Residual = [tex]3.8-11[/tex]
Residual = [tex]-7.2[/tex]
Therefore, the residual for the given point is -7.2.
