Use the image to answer the question.
Four points are plotted on the first quadrant of a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 10 in increments of 1 and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 17 in increments of 1. A line is drawn that almost passes through all the points.
Find the residual of the data point (2,15.27)
. Round the answer to the nearest thousandths.
(1 point)
The residual of the data point (2,15.27)
is
.
3.73.
This can be calculated by finding the vertical distance between the actual y-coordinate of the data point (15.27) and the y-coordinate on the line when x is 2. Subtracting the actual y-coordinate from the y-coordinate on the line when x is 2 gives the residual.
