Find the residual of the data point (4,14.59) . Round the answer to the nearest thousandths. y=-0.694x(4)+17.22

Answer 1

To find the residual, we first need to calculate the predicted y-value using the given regression equation.

y = -0.694(4) + 17.22
y = -2.776 + 17.22
y = 14.444

Now we find the residual by subtracting the predicted value from the actual value:

residual = 14.59 - 14.444
residual = 0.146

Rounded to the nearest thousandth, the residual of the data point (4, 14.59) is 0.146.
