Answer:
A. 5.3
Step-by-step explanation:
While both of these numbers are close to 7, 5.3 is the closest and we can find this out with subtraction. So, 9.9 - 7 = 2.9, but 7 - 5.3 = 1.7. Which one can we determine is closer? Well, 2.9 > 1.7, so our answer must be A. 5.3!
Have a nice day and I hope this helped!
The best answer from the options that proves that the residual plot shows that the line of best fit is appropriate for the data is: ( Statement 1 ) Yes, because the points have no clear pattern
X Given Predicted Residual value
1 3.5 4.06 -0.56
2 2.3 2.09 0.21
3 1.1 0.12 0.98
4 2.2 -1.85 4.05
5 -4.1 -3.82 -0.28
The residual value is calculated as follows using this formula: ( Given - predicted )
1) ( 3.5 - 4.06 ) = -0.56
2) ( 2.3 - 2.09 ) = 0.21
3) ( 1.1 - 0.12 ) = 0.98
4) (2.2 - (-1.85) = 4.05
5) ( -4.1 - (-3.82) = -0.28
Residual values are the difference between the given values and the predicted values in a given data set and the residual plot is used to represent these values .
attached below is the residual plot of the data set
hence we can conclude from the residual plot attached below that the line of best fit is appropriate for the data because the points have no clear pattern ( i.e. scattered )

So you just subsitute -3 for x
f(-3)=-(-3)+15
f(-3)=3+15
f(-3)=18
answer is C
18
12.826+2.93= 15.756
Since you have to round it, your final answer would be 15.8
