The equation of the least-squares regression line is hat y is equal to negative 51 point 0 plus 1 point 4 4 x , where hat y is the time (in minutes) to finish the second half of the race and x is the time (in minutes) to finish the first half. Which shows the residual plot?
Answer
A
Image with description A dot plot with the x axis titled First-Half Times in Minutes begins with 105 and ends at 140 with equal intervals of 5, such as 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, and 140. The y axis titled Residual begins with negative 40 and ends at 30 with equal intervals of 10, such as negative 40, negative 30, negative 20, negative 10, 0, 10, 20, and 30. A horizontal line parallel to the x axis starts from the point where y is 0. There is a dot at approximately 105, negative 35, a dot at 115, negative 15; a dot at 115, negative 5; a dot at 120, 12; a dot at 123, negative 5; a dot at 123, 5; a dot at 127, 12; a dot at 130, 18; a dot at 133, negative 5; and a dot at 138, 25.
