Question 935309: _____when using midterm exam scores to predict a student's final grade in a class, the student would prefer to have a
A) positive residual, because that means the student's final grade is lower than we would predict with the model
B) positive residual, because that means the student's final grade is higher than we would predict with the model
C) residual equal to zero, because that means the student's final grade is exactly what we would predict with the model
D) negative residual, because that means the student's final grade is higher than we would predict with the model
E) negative residual, because that means the student's final grade is lower than we would predict with the model
