Y
Yes, because the points have no clear pattern.
N
No, the points have no pattern.
N
No, the points are in a linear pattern.
Y
Yes, the points are in a curved pattern.

What does a residual value of –0.8 mean in reference to the line of best fit?

T
The given point is 0.8 units above the line of best fit.
T
The given point is 0.8 units below the line of best fit.
T
The line of best fit is not appropriate to the data.
T
The line of best fit has a slope of 0.8.

Which residual plot shows that the line of best fit is a good model?

A
A graph shows both axes unnumbered. Points show a downward trend.
Option A
B
A graph shows both axes unnumbered. Points show an upward then downward trend.
Option B
C
A graph shows both axes unnumbered. Points are scattered all over the graph.
Option C
D
A graph shows both axes unnumbered. Points show a downward then upward trend.

Shanti wrote the predicted values for a data set using the line of best fit y = 2.55x – 3.15. She computed two of the residual values.

Question illustration
a
a = 0.4 and b = –0.15
a
a = –0.4 and b = 0.15
a
a = 8.6 and b = 14.25
a
a = –8.6 and b = –14.25
