Answer:
B) The sum of the squared residuals
Step-by-step explanation:
Least Square Regression Line is drawn through a bivariate data(Data in two variables) plotted on a graph to explain the relation between the explanatory variable(x) and the response variable(y).
Not all the points will lie on the Least Square Regression Line in all cases. Some points will be above line and some points will be below the line. The vertical distance between the points and the line is known as residual. Since, some points are above the line and some are below, the sum of residuals is always zero for a Least Square Regression Line.
Since, we want to minimize the overall error(residual) so that our line is as close to the points as possible, considering the sum of residuals wont be helpful as it will always be zero. So we square the residuals first and them sum them. This always gives a positive value. The Least Square Regression Line minimizes this sum of residuals and the result is a line of Best Fit for the bivariate data.
Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
You do what's in the innermost brackets first, unless you have an unknown variable.
Answer:
B) 451
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 414 + 125 = 539
2) 539 - 88 = 451
The slope of the function for pronghorn antelope is 60.78 which infers that the rate of speed of the pronghorn is 60.78 miles per hour.
7) The given function that represents the speed of the pronghorn is
y = 60.78x - 5.4
Comparing this function with the general equation of a straight line
y = mx + c we can conclude that the slope of the function is 60.78 .
So the Pronghorn's rate of speed is 60.78 miles per hour.
8) Now the speed of the cheetah is given in the form of a table.
Let us take any two points on the graph
(0.5,21.85) and (2,118.60)
Slope of the line passing through these two points
= (118.6-21.85)/(2-0.5)
=64.5
So the slope of the graph is 64.5 and the average rate of speed of the Cheetah is 64.5 miles per hour.
9) From the above two slopes and the rate of speed we can conclude that the speed of the cheetah is 64.5 mph which is greater than that of the pronghorn 's speed of 60.78 miles per hour.
