For a data point measured as y = 3.5 for an x value of x = 1.2, the residual would be 0.1

For given question,

we have been given an equation 2x + 1 that represents an equation for a trendline to the data.

General formula with residual is y = 2x + 1 + r, where r is a residual.

We need to find the residual for a data point measured as y = 3.5 for an x value of x = 1.2

We substitute given values of x and y in the residual equation

y = 2x + 1 + r

For y = 3.5 and x = 1.2,

⇒ 3.5 = 2(1.2) + 1 + r

⇒ 3.5 = 2.4 + 1 + r

⇒ r = 3.5 - 3.4

⇒ r = 0.1

Therefore, for a data point measured as y = 3.5 for an x value of x = 1.2, the residual would be 0.1
