Suppose that a researcher studying the weight of female college athletes wants to predict the weights based on height, measured in inches, and the percentage of body fat of an athlete. The researcher calculates the regression equation as (weight) = 3.86*(height) + 1.413*(percent body fat) - 83.495. If a female athlete is 60 inches tall, has a 22 percentage of body fat, and a weight of 200.037, the residual is 20.846. Choose the correct interpretation of the residual.

Question 17 options:

1)The height of the athlete is 20.846 inches less than what we would expect.

2)The height of the athlete is 20.846 inches larger than what we would expect.

3)The weight of the athlete is 20.846 pounds less than what we would expect.

4)The weight of the athlete is 20.846 pounds larger than what we would expect.

5)The weight of the athlete is 200.037 pounds larger than what we would expect.
