Question

Does the residual plot show that the line of best fit is appropriate for the data?

Yes, the points have no pattern.
No, the points are evenly distributed about the x-axis.
No, the points are in a linear pattern.
Yes, the points are in a curved pattern.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

No, the points are in a linear pattern.

Explanation:

Residual = actual value - predicted value

So our residual points are:

1, -2.4

2, -4.9

3, -6.2

4, -6

5, -7.9

As evidenced in the image, the points follow a linear pattern.
