To find the residual for a height of 6.08, you first need to use the equation of the line of best fit, \( y = 105x - 439 \), to determine the predicted weight at that height.
-
Calculate the predicted weight (y) when height (x) is 6.08: \[ y = 105(6.08) - 439 \] \[ y = 638.4 - 439 \] \[ y = 199.4 \]
-
Now, determine the actual weight from the table for a height of 6.08, which is 185.
-
Finally, calculate the residual by subtracting the predicted weight from the actual weight: \[ \text{Residual} = \text{Actual weight} - \text{Predicted weight} \] \[ \text{Residual} = 185 - 199.4 = -14.4 \]
Thus, the value to graph for the residual at a height of 6.08 is \(-14.4\).
So the correct response is: −14.4 (negative 14.4).
