Question

consider the plot created from the residuals of a line of best fit for a set of data. does the residual plot show that the line of best fit is appropriate for the data? yes, the points have no pattern. yes, the points are evenly distributed about the x - axis. no, the points are in a linear pattern. no, the points are in a curved pattern.

Explanation:

For a good - fitting line of best fit, the residual plot should have points randomly scattered with no pattern. In the given plot, the points are in a linear pattern, which indicates that the line of best fit is not appropriate as it means there is some underlying structure in the data that the current linear model is not capturing.

Answer:

No, the points are in a linear pattern.
