Question

consider the plot that was 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 are rising. yes, the points are all above the x - axis. no, it follows a pattern. no, the points are falling.

Explanation:

A residual plot is used to assess the appropriateness of a line of best fit. If the residual plot shows a pattern (such as a curve, increasing trend, decreasing trend), the line of best fit is not appropriate. In this case, the points in the residual plot follow an increasing pattern.

Answer:

No, it follows a pattern.
