Why do we square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit?

We square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit because we believe that huge negative residuals (i.e., points well below the line) are just as harmful as large positive residuals (i.e., points that are high above the line).

<h3>What do you mean by Residuals?</h3>

We treat both positive and negative disparities equally by squaring the residual values.  We cannot discover a single straight line that concurrently minimizes all residuals. The average (squared) residual value is instead minimized.

We might also take the absolute values of the residuals rather than squaring them. Positive disparities are viewed as just as harmful as negative ones under both strategies.

Answer:

After 12.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You can check this by graphing y = 0.85+16.75 and y = 0.40 + 22.25 and looking for the solution (the point where they intersect).

You can also use the elimination or substitution method.

#10-1 : What is the probability of randomly choosing a diamond card from a regular deck of 52 cards? What is the probability of
Alchen [17]

\huge{\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}}\ \ \huge{\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}}

There are 13 of each suit in a deck of 52 cards.

This means the probability of drawing a diamond card is \frac{13}{52}. You can divide the numerator and denominator each by 13 to simplify. \frac{13}{52} \div \frac{13}{13} = \boxed{\frac{1}{4}}

Since there are the same number of clubs as there are diamonds, the probabilities are the same.

Dwayne hikes 60 miles in 3 days. At that rate, how many days does it take him to hike a total of 240 miles
NNADVOKAT [17]

12 days. 60 is a quarter of 240. So, multiply 60 by 4 to get 240.
