Answer:

a) -882.6296

b) The regression equation overestimated the net income.

c) -547.0104

d) The regression equation overestimated the net income.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The regression equation for net income is given by:

[tex]\text{Net Income} = y = 2159 + .0312(\text{Revenue})[/tex]

a) residual for the (x, y) pair ($45,533, $2,697)

Calculated net income =

[tex]2159 + .0312(45533) = 3579.6296[/tex]

Residual = Observed net income - Calculated net income

[tex]\text{Residual} = 2697-3579.6296 = -882.6296[/tex]

b) The regression equation overestimated the net income.

c) residual for the (x, y) pair ($60,417, $3,497)

Calculated net income =

[tex]2159 + .0312(60417) = 4044.0104[/tex]

Residual = Observed net income - Calculated net income

[tex]\text{Residual} = 3497-4044.0104 = -547.0104[/tex]

d) The regression equation overestimated the net income.
