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:

Step1: Recall residual plot concept

A good - fitting line of best fit should have residuals that are randomly scattered with no pattern.

Step2: Analyze given plot

The points in the given residual plot have no discernible linear or curved pattern. They appear to be randomly distributed.

Yes, the points have no pattern.
