Answer:
-11.2 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Shawna finds a study of American men that has an equation to predict weight (in pounds) from height (in inches):
y = -210 + 5.6x
Height of Shawna's dad is 72 inches
Weight is 182 pounds
We need to find the residual of weight and height for Shawna's dad.
Predicted weight of 72 inches men,
y' = -210 + 5.6(72)
y' = 193.2 pounds
So, residual is :
Y = 182 - 193.2
Y = -11.2 pounds
So, the residual of weight and height for Shawna's dad is -11.2 pounds.
