Answer:

A) Predicted value: 13.1   Residual: 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition:

residual = observed - predicted

The linear model is:

f(x) = 1.3x + 9.2

where f(x) is the height and x is the age of the tree.

Replacing with x = 3:

f(x) = 1.3(3) + 9.2 = 13.1 ft

which is the predicted value. The observed value is 14 ft, then:

residual = 14 - 13.1 = 0.9 ft
