To find the residual at a height of 6.08, you need to subtract the predicted weight (from the line of best fit) from the actual weight.

From the table:

  • The actual weight at a height of 6.08 is 185.
  • The predicted weight (using the line of best fit) at a height of 6.08 is 199.4.

Now, calculate the residual:

Residual = Actual Weight - Predicted Weight Residual = 185 - 199.4 Residual = -14.4

So, the value to graph for the residual at a height of 6.08 is −14.4.
