Meerkats have a gestation time of 70 days. Use the equation of the least squares line, y = 6.643 + 0.03974x, to predict the longevity of the meerkat. X equals the gestation time in days and y equals the longevity in years.
The longevity of the meerkat is actually 10 years. Use this value and the predicted value that you calculated in problem 1 to find the residual for the meerkat.
