HELP ME PLEASE!!!

An equation was used to predict possible weights of puppies at 6 months of age. The actual weights of the puppies are also listed. Actual weight (ounces) 9 15 16 20 20 26 Predicted weight (ounces) 9 12 15 18 21 24 The sum of the residuals is ______.

Answer 1

the sum of the residuals is 7.

Explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

Given :

Actual weight (ounces) Predicted weight (ounces) 21

9 9

15 12

16 15

20 18

20 21

26 24

To Find : the sum of residuals

Solution :

Actual - Predicted=Residuals

9-9=0

15-12=3

16-15=1

20-18=2

20-21=-1

26-24=2

So, the residuals are 0,3,1,2, -1,2

Thus the sum of all residuals = 0+3+1+2-1+2 = 7

Hence the sum of residuals is 7
