Question

question 8 of 10 the residuals for data set a and data set b were calculated and plotted on separate residual plots. if the residuals for data set a form a pattern, and the residuals for data set b do not form a pattern, what can be concluded? a. data set a is not linear, and data set b is linear. b. data set a is linear, and data set b is not linear. c. data set a is not linear, and data set b is not linear. d. data set a is linear, and data set b is linear.

Explanation:

In residual plots, if residuals form a pattern, the data - set is not linear as a linear model is not a good fit. If residuals are randomly scattered (no pattern), the data - set is linear as a linear model fits well. Since data set A has a pattern in its residuals, it is not linear. Since data set B has no pattern in its residuals, it is linear.

Answer:

A. Data set A is not linear, and data set B is linear
