The best answer from the options that proves that the residual plot shows that the line of best fit is appropriate for the data is: ( Statement 1 ) Yes, because the points have no clear pattern
X Given Predicted Residual value
1 3.5 4.06 -0.56
2 2.3 2.09 0.21
3 1.1 0.12 0.98
4 2.2 -1.85 4.05
5 -4.1 -3.82 -0.28
The residual value is calculated as follows using this formula: ( Given - predicted )
1) ( 3.5 - 4.06 ) = -0.56
2) ( 2.3 - 2.09 ) = 0.21
3) ( 1.1 - 0.12 ) = 0.98
4) (2.2 - (-1.85) = 4.05
5) ( -4.1 - (-3.82) = -0.28
Residual values are the difference between the given values and the predicted values in a given data set and the residual plot is used to represent these values .
attached below is the residual plot of the data set
hence we can conclude from the residual plot attached below that the line of best fit is appropriate for the data because the points have no clear pattern ( i.e. scattered )
No Mr.Linton will not take 7 days to finish the book
Explanation
Since the book has 900 pages, you will have to divide 900 by 100 which equals 9. 9 is the number of days it will take for Mr.Linton to read the book. Therefore he is wrong.
