Question

Researchers record the fuel consumption of a car yy (in miles per gallon) at various speeds \(x\) (in miles per hour). Using software, they determine that the regression line of their data is 

 

y^​=70.243−0.0269x

 

If the observed fuel consumption of the car was \(y = 49\) mpg while moving at a speed of \(= 20\) mph, what would be the error (i.e., residual) in the predicted fuel consumption at this speed found with the regression line? Round your answer to three decimal places.
