Given a data set with 3 points, and 2 residuals of -12 and 6, find the third residual.
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The data set contains three points.
. Two of the residuals are -12 and6.
3. The sum of residuals in a data set is always zero.
STEP 2
The sum of residuals is always zero, so we can set up the following equation to find the third residualwhere x is the third residual.
STEP 3
olve the equation for x.
The third residual is6.
So, the correct answer is A.6.
