A linear model for a set of data was y= -20.6 + 9.72x and produced the following residual plot: [Xscl=1, Yscl=5]
\n" ); document.write( "a) Predict the value of y when x= 7.5.
\n" ); document.write( "f(7.5) = -20.6 + 9.72*7.5 = 52.3
\n" ); document.write( "Note: That is the predicted value for y when x = 7.5
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "b) Determine the residual if x= 5.
\n" ); document.write( "Need to know the predicted value f(5) and the actual point (5,?)
