The question presented references Scenario 8-13 and asks us to calculate the residual for Naomi Jimenez's jump.

First, note that a residual in this context is typically defined as the difference between an observed value and a predicted value from a model or baseline. In other words, residual = observed value − predicted value.

Here, the observed value is the actual jump height for Naomi on that day, which is stated as 62 inches. To compute a residual, we would need the predicted jump height from the underlying model or baseline used in Scenario 8-13. Without the predicted value, we cannot compute the residual from first principles.

However, the provided information includes a numeric result of 22.1 inches as an answer. If we assume that the predicted value from the relevant model is 39.9 inches (since 62 − 39.9 = 22.1), then the residual would be 22.1 inches. This interpretation aligns with the standard residual formula described above, where a positive residual indicates the observed value exceeded the prediction by that amount.

Option-by-option reasoning would normally require listing each choice and evaluating its correctness, but in this case no answer options are supplied beyond the single numeric result. Consequently, we cannot assess alternative choices, confirm the exact predicted value used in the scenario, or compare competing residual calculations.

In summary, the residual calculation hinges on knowing the predicted jump height from the model; with observed = 62 inches and a residual of 22.1 inches, the implied predicted height would be 39.9 inches. If that predicted value is not the one used in the Scenario’s model, the residual would differ accordingly.
