The residual value is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Residual} = y - \hat{y} \]

where:

  • \( y \) is the actual observed value,
  • \( \hat{y} \) is the predicted value.

In this case, you're given:

  • \( y = 195 \)
  • \( \hat{y} = 192 \)

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

\[ \text{Residual} = 195 - 192 = 3 \]

So, the plotted residual value is 3.
