Based on data taken from airline fares and distances flown, it is determined that the equation of the least-squares regression line is ŷ = 102.50 + 0.65x, where ŷ is the predicted fare and x is the distance, in miles. One of the flights was 350 miles and its residual was –105.00. What was the fare for this flight?

A frequent flyer was interested in the relationship between dollars spent on flying and the distance flown. She sampled 20 frequent flyers of a certain airline. She collected the number of miles flown in the previous year and the total amount of money the flyer spent. A regression line of distance flown on money spent was fit to the data, and the intercept and slope were calculated to be a = 24,000 and b = 10. One of the randomly sampled frequent flyer was found to have spent $2500 and flown 57000 miles. The residual for this observation is: O 44000 O -8000 O 12000 8000
For a class project, you measure the weight in grams (g) and the tail length in millimeters (mm) of a group of mice.
