G a. What is a residual? b. In what sense is the regression line the straight line that "best" fits the points in a scatterplot? a. What is a residual? A. A residual is a value that is determined exactly, without any error. B. A residual is the amount that one variable changes when the other variable changes by exactly one unit. C. A residual is a value of yminusModifyingAbove y with caret, which is the difference between an observed value of y and a predicted value of y. D. A residual is a point that has a strong effect on the regression equation. b. In what sense is the regression line the straight line that "best" fits the points in a scatterplot? The regression line has the property that the ▼ sum of squares sum of the residuals is the ▼ lowest highest possible sum.

for the first question we have the "c” as the correct option

residual is a value of y -y^ which is the difference between an observed value of y and predicted value of y

The residual is a value of y -y ^ which is the difference between an observed value of y and predicted value of y, so answer A is false in The residual mo has errors, option B is false because it is not defined as the quantity that changes a variable and it is false that the residual is a point that has a strong effect on the regression

for question two the correct answer is:

the best fitting straight regression line at the scatter plot points is

b) sum of squares and lowest

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
