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:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
the y intercept is the number that does not have a variable behind it (3)
the slope is the number that does have a variable behind it (4)

1.) 3x -4 <_ 2
Add 4 to both sides.
-4 + 4 = 0
2 + 4 = 6
3x <_ 6
Divide both sides by 3.
3x / 3 = x
6 / 3 = 2
x <_ 2 is your answer for the first inequality.
2.) 2x + 11 _> -1
Subtract 11 from both sides.
11 - 11 = 0
-1 -1 = -2
2x _> -12
Divide both sides by 2.
2x / 2 = x
-12 / 2 = -6
x _> -6 is your answer for the second inequality.
I hope this helps!
Let x be the number, then 60 = 40% of x & x =60/40%=60/0.4=150
then the number of which 60 represent 40% of it is 150
2) Let x be the time needed to the 16 clerks to finish the job
In one day the 32 clerks complete a portion of 32/22 of the job
In one day the 16 clerks complete a portion of 16/x of the job
So in 1 day===> 32/22 =16/x ==> x=(22*16)/32 = 11 days
