Question

for the given table, which point lies on the residual plot? (1, 26) (2, 18.3) (3, 4.6) (4, 19)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall residual plot concept

A point on the residual plot has coordinates (x - value, residual - value).

Step2: Check each option

For x = 1, residual is 3.8, so (1, 3.8) is a point on the residual plot. For x = 2, residual is - 5.3, so (2, - 5.3) is a point on the residual plot. For x = 3, residual is 4.6, so (3, 4.6) is a point on the residual plot. For x = 4, residual is - 8.5, so (4, - 8.5) is a point on the residual plot.

Answer:

(3, 4.6)
