The equation for the line of best fit for a data set is y = 2x + 1.5. If the point (1, 4) is in the data set, what is the residual of 1? 0.5 3.5 4.0 7.5

It is related to econometrics, however using simple algebraic logic we can solve this problem. General formula with residual is [tex]y=2x+1.5+r[/tex], where r is a residual. Plugging the pair into the formula, we obtain that [tex]4=2*1+1.5+r[/tex] and r=0.5

Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

[tex]y=2x+1.5[/tex]

If the point (1,4) is in the data set.

we need to find the residual of 1.

At x = 1,

[tex]y=2x+1.5\\\\y=2\times 1+1.5\\\\y=2+1.5\\\\y=3.5[/tex]

So, At x = 1, the value of y = 3.5

As we know that

[tex]Residual\ value=Estimate\ value-Actual\ value\\\\Residual\ value=4-3.5\\\\Residual\ value=0.5[/tex]

Hence, The residual of 1 is 0.5.

Thus, First option is correct.
