To find the residual of a data point, we need to subtract the predicted value (from a given model) from the actual value at that specific data point.
The formula for residual is:
\[ \text{Residual} = \text{Actual Value} - \text{Predicted Value} \]
In your case, the data point is (4, 14.59), where the actual value (y) is 14.59. However, we need the predicted value at \( x = 4 \).
Since you have not provided a specific model (like a linear equation) to calculate the predicted value, I cannot provide the residual without that information.
If you have the predicted value at \( x = 4 \), please provide it, and I can help you calculate the residual. Otherwise, the residual cannot be determined with the information provided.
