the residual differences of each data y-value minus the corresponding predicted y-value from the line of best fit for all values of x.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Danielle: Could you be more specific in stating what you're looking for here? Numerical values? explanations? or ... ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

residuals but someone here helped yesterday on those and my lesson said incorrect :/ but I want to learn how to find them

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

place points on the graph to best represent the residual differences of each data y-value minus the corresponding predicted y-value from the line of best fit for all values of x.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Danielle: That's still not specific enough. What have YOU done so far on this problem, and specifically what kind of assistance do you need and want to proceed further? Your most recent post is OK as far as it goes, but it's still up to you to get started (asking questions if necessary) before expecting responses from potential helpers.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

Im not expecting responses I just want to know how to find the residuals

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Residue = Observed Value - Predicted Value

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

In your graph, dots \(\color{blue}{\bullet}\) represent the observed values line of bestfit represents the predicted value

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

When x = 1, observed value = ? predicted value = ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

18-14?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Actually, the residual is the DIFFERENCE between the observed and predicted value. You've typed in 18-14. What's the value of that, and what does this value represent (what's its name)?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

4 and it represents the residual?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, I guess you need to find the residuals for all the dots in the given graph ! such pain !

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

lol yeah tell me about it -.-' there should be a website that does it for you but I don't think that miracle exists lol

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

is it correct?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

when x=24?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

check the residues when x = 7 one of them is wrong

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh and what about when x=2 and x=3? do I have to put dots on the lines or not

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Hey wait, my mistake your work looks perfect! all correct!

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh ok lol

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

and what about what I asked for x=2 and x=3?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Oh that is wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we don't have any observation at x = 2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x = 3 has a residue of +6 right?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

omg yeah I got confused and placed it on two and this program you have to start over to erase -.-'

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Have fun :)

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

no kidding lol xD

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

and are you sure that for x=2 it shoudln't be 2,0?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, we don't have any observations at x=0 and x=2 so no question of residue arises

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

but then why did we use the values from the line on top of the dot and won't use it for two?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when x=2, whats the observation value ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

2-2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

How ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

ok lets put it this way, for x=3 we used the value from the line 18 even though it didn't have a dot

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

but why don't we do the same for two and mark it as 2-2=0 therefore 2,0

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

makes sense now?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

When x = 3, we have a dot at y = 24

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes exactly but there is no dot on the line

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

When x = 3, observed value = dot = 24 predicted value = 18

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh wait nvm I was overthinking nonlogical stuff sorry

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

so fingers crossed and hopefully this one is correct :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good luck!

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

and is incorrect again :(

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Oh, maybe try putting 0 as residue when x = 2 and see

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

no is for the 3 value.......

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

how is that even possible

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when x = 3, the residue is 6 right ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes even the hint tells me so...dont worry I sent a complaint

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Okay

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

they said the answer was 6,6

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

but then when you look at the comparison below it it says 3,6 im soooo mad right now
