Answer:

The actual relative abundance will be "7.59".

Explanation:

  • The residual on something like a curve anywhere at a point becomes expressed as the maximum at either the position between some of the real y-value as well as the expected y-value.
  • Consequently, the difference regarding true relative abundance as well as expected relative abundance seems to be 1.25 whether we presume that the x-variable represents rainfall, as well as they-variable, represents the relative abundance of locusts.

The predicted relative abundance for 3 inches rainfall will be:

=
6.7 - (0.12* 3)

=
6.34

The residual will be:

=
actual - predicted \ relative \ abundance

=
1.25

Now,

The actual relative abundance will be:

=
1.25 + predicted \ relative \ abundance

=
1.25 + 6.34

=
7.59

Remember that perhaps the residual positive value means that even the calculation underestimates the relative abundance. The real relative abundance, however, is 7.59.
