If the residual error is 51 and the predicted cost value is 37, then the observed cost value will be ___________?
Correct answer: B. 88
- A. 14
- B. 88
- C. 24
- D. 68
Explanation
Because residual error equals observed cost minus predicted cost, observed cost = 51 + 37 = 88. Subtracting would reverse the residual relationship.
