Predict Janelle's final exam score using the linear regression equation where . Calculate the residual between the predicted and actual final exam scores.
STEP 1
Assumptions
1. The linear regression equation is given by .
2. is the predicted final-exam score.
3. is the score on the first test.
4. Janelle scored 90 on the first test.
5. The actual final-exam score for Janelle is 60.
STEP 2
To find the predicted value of Janelle's score on the final exam, we need to substitute the score of the first test () into the linear regression equation.
STEP 3
Substitute into the equation to calculate the predicted final-exam score.
STEP 4
Perform the multiplication.
STEP 5
Add the values to find the predicted final-exam score.
The predicted value of Janelle's score on the final exam is 56.
STEP 6
To find the residual, we need to subtract the predicted final-exam score from the actual final-exam score.
STEP 7
Substitute the actual score (60) and the predicted score (56) into the formula to calculate the residual.
STEP 8
Calculate the residual.
The value of the residual is 4.
