A company studying the productivity of its employees on a new information system was interested in determingg if the age (X) of data entry opeertors influenced the number of completed entries made per hour (Y). The regression equation is y = 14.374 - 0.145x Suppose the acyual completed entries per hour for an operator who is 35 years old was 8. The residual is:
