The y-intercept indicates the mean mies per gallon for a car that weighs 0 pounds.O E. It is not appropriate to interpret the y-intercept because it does not make sense to talk about a car that weighs O pounds.(c) Prodict the miles per gallon of car Dand compute the residual. Is the miles per gallon of this car above average or below average for cars of this weight?The predicted value ismiles per gallon.(Round to two decimal places as needed.)The residual ismiles per galon.(Round to two decimal places as needed.)Is the value above or below average?O t is above average.O t is below average.(d) Draw the least-squares regression line on the scatter diagram of the data and label the residual.
