The residual plot shows the residuals for the day of the month and the amount in Kali’s checking account. Which statement best assesses the linearity of the relationship between the day of the month and account balance if the scatterplot appears to be reasonably linear?

A
Because the residual plot has an obvious pattern, and the scatterplot appears linear, it is appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict the account balance based on the day of the month.
B
Because the residual plot has an obvious pattern, and the scatterplot appears linear, it is not appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict the account balance based on the day of the month.
C
Because the residual plot has no obvious pattern, and the scatterplot appears linear, it is appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict the account balance based on the day of the month.
D
Because the residual plot has no obvious pattern, and the scatterplot appears linear, it is not appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict the account balance based on the day of the month.

The residual plot shows the residuals for a person’s age and their vertical jump (in inches). Which statement best assesses the linearity of the relationship between age and vertical jump if it is known that the scatterplot appears to be approximately linear?

A
Although it is given that the scatterplot is approximately linear, because the residual plot has no obvious pattern, it is appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict vertical jump based on age.
B
Although it is given that the scatterplot is reasonably linear, because the residual plot has no obvious pattern, it is not appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict vertical jump based on age.
C
Although it is given that the scatterplot is reasonably linear, because the residual plot has a clear curved pattern, it is appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict vertical jump based on age.
D
Although it is given that the scatterplot is reasonably linear, because the residual plot has a clear curved pattern, it is not appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict vertical jump based on age.

The residual plot shows the residuals for a student’s GPA and daily amount of time spent on social media (in hours). Which statement best assesses the linearity of the relationship between GPA and daily time on social media if the scatterplot appears to be reasonably linear?

A
Because the residual plot has a clear pattern, rather than the desired random scatter, it is appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict GPA based on daily time on social media.
B
Because the residual plot has a clear pattern, rather than the desired random scatter, it is not appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict GPA based on daily time on social media.
C
Because the residual plot has no obvious pattern, it is appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict GPA based on daily time on social media.
D
Because the residual plot has no obvious pattern, it is not appropriate to use the line of best fit to predict GPA based on daily time on social media.
