Kiley gathered the data in the table. She found the approximate line of best fit to be y = 1.6x – 4.



What is the residual value when x = 3?



A.–1.8


B.–0.2


C.0.2


D.1.8

Verified Answer :

 The difference between the observed value of the dependent variable (y) and the predicted value (ŷ) is called the residual (e). When x is equal to 3, the value of y from the best fit line would be 0.8. Therefore, the residual would be -1 - 0.8 = -1.8. Option A is the correct answer.

Answer:

the correct answer is D)1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plug the value 3 into the formula you get the experimental value of 0.8 then you subtract -1 so the negative one turns into a positive one. then you add because both signs change. hope this helps
