Using proportions, it is found that the average waste produced by each plant on a monthly basis is of 0.8 tons per month.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there is a period of 60 x 12 = 720 months, with 104 plants, and 60,000 tons of waste were produced, hence the average is given by:

A = 60000/(720 x 104) = 0.8 tons per month.

If a given data point is (1,4) and the line of best fit is y = 1.5x + 3.25, what's the residual value?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The residual value is -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that  

The residual value is the observed value minus the predicted value.

RESIDUAL VALUE=[OBSERVED VALUE-PREDICTED VALUE]

where

Predicted value.--> the predicted value given the current regression equation

Observed value. --> The observed value for the dependent variable.

in this problem

we have the point (1,4)

so

The observed value is 4

<em>Find the predicted value  for x=1 </em>

y =1.5(1)+3.25=4.75

predicted value is 4.75

so

RESIDUAL VALUE=(4-4.75)=-0.75
