To create a residual plot based on the given scatter plot how many values would be located below the residual =0 line.

there's a point at one, one a point at 0, 1.5 a point at 2, 3 appointment 3, 3 a point at 4, 5 appointment at 5:00, 5.5

To analyze the residuals and determine how many values would be located below the residual = 0 line, we need to understand what residuals represent. In a regression context, residuals are the differences between observed values (y-values) and the predicted values (y-values predicted by the regression model).

Given the points you provided:

  1. (1, 1)
  2. (0, 1.5)
  3. (2, 3)
  4. (3, 3)
  5. (4, 5)
  6. (5, 5.5)

To determine the projected y-values (predicted values), we would typically first fit a regression model (like linear regression) to the given points.

As we don't have a regression line or model specified, we can't calculate precise predicted values. However, we can outline the steps to determine how many points are below the residual = 0 line:

  1. Determine the fitted line: Fit a regression line to the data points given.
  2. Calculate the predicted y-values: For each x-value, calculate the corresponding predicted y-value using the regression equation.
  3. Calculate the residuals: For each actual y-value, find its residual by subtracting the predicted value from the actual value (Residual = Actual - Predicted).
  4. Identifying residuals below 0: Count how many of these residuals are less than 0. This will give you the number of points located below the residual = 0 line.

Without the fitted line, we can't perform these calculations specifically, but once you have those predicted values, you can easily find the number of residuals below zero. If you have a specific regression equation or additional information, feel free to provide it for a more precise analysis!
