Direction (16 to 20)
As I stepped out of the train I felt unusually solitary since
I was the only passenger to alight. I was accustomed to arriving
in the summer, when holiday-makers throng coastal resorts and
this was my first visit when the season was over. My destination
was a little village which was eight miles by road. It took only a
few minutes for me to come to the foot of the cliff path. When I
reached the top I had left all signs of habitation behind me. I was
surprised to notice that the sky was already a flame with the sunset. It
seemed to be getting dark amazingly quickly. I was at a loss to account
for the exceptionally early end of daylight since I did not think I had
walked unduly slowly. Then I recollected that on previous visits I had
walked in high summer and how it was October.
All at once it was night. The track was grassy and even in
daylight sghowed up hardly at all. I was terrified of hurtling over
the edge of the cliff to the rocks below. I felt my feet squelching
and sticking in something soggy. Then I bumped into a little clump
of trees that loomed up in front of me. I climbed up the nearest
trunk and managed to find a tolerabley comfortable fork to sit on.
The waiting was spent by my attempts to identify the little stirrings
and noises of animal life that I could hear. I grew colder and colder
and managed to sleep only in uneasy fitful starts. At last when
the moon came up I was on my way again.

This question is related to questions 4 and 21 above. The relationship between number of beers consumed (x) and
blood alcohol content (y) was studied in 16 male college students by using least squares regression. The following
regression equation was obtained from this study: != -0.0127 + 0.0180x Another guy, his name Dudley, has the
regression equation written on a scrap of paper in his pocket. Dudley goes out drinking and has 4 beers. He
calculates that he is under the legal limit (0.08) so he decides to drive to another bar. Unfortunately Dudley gets
pulled over and confidently submits to a road-side blood alcohol test. He scores a blood alcohol of 0.085 and gets
himself arrested. Obviously, Dudley skipped the lecture about residual variation. Dudley’s residual is:
