Question

fill in the blank.
a ______ is a scatterplot of the (x,y) values after each of the y-coordinate values has been replaced by the residual value ( y - hat{y} ).

a dropdown is a scatterplot of the (x,y) values after each of the y-coordinate values has been replaced by the residual value ( y - hat{y} ).
options: residual plot, regression line, histogram, pictograph

Explanation:

A residual plot is defined as a scatterplot where the y - coordinates of the original (x, y) points are replaced by the residual values \( y-\hat{y} \). A regression line is a line used to model the relationship between variables, a histogram is used to represent the distribution of data, and a pictograph uses symbols to represent data. So the correct term is residual plot.

Answer:

A. residual plot
