From this residual plot, we can tell the original scatter plot data is :
-
Linear
-
Non-linear
-
Random
-
Patterned
Correct Answer
A. LinearExplanation
The residual plot is a graphical representation of the difference between the observed values and the predicted values in a regression analysis. In a linear regression, the residuals should be randomly scattered around the horizontal axis with no clear pattern. If the residual plot shows a linear pattern, it suggests that the original scatter plot data is linear.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. LinearExplanation
The given residual plot shows a clear pattern where the residuals are evenly distributed around the horizontal line of zero. This indicates that the relationship between the independent and dependent variables is linear. In a linear relationship, the change in the dependent variable is directly proportional to the change in the independent variable. Therefore, the original scatter plot data can be considered linear.Rate this question:

A. LinearExplanation
The residual plot helps us analyze the relationship between the independent and dependent variables in a regression model. In this case, since the residual plot shows a linear pattern, it suggests that the original scatter plot data is linear. This means that there is a linear relationship between the independent and dependent variables, and the data points tend to fall along a straight line.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. LinearExplanation
The given residual plot indicates that the original scatter plot data follows a linear pattern. This can be inferred from the fact that the residuals, which represent the vertical distance between the observed data points and the corresponding predicted values, are randomly scattered around the horizontal line at zero. In a linear relationship, the residuals should be evenly distributed around zero, suggesting that the data points are closely aligned along a straight line.Rate this question:

A. LinearExplanation
The residual plot is a graphical representation of the difference between the observed values and the predicted values in a regression analysis. In a linear regression, the residuals should be randomly scattered around the horizontal line at zero.

A. Non-linearExplanation
The residual plot is a graphical representation of the difference between the observed values and the predicted values in a regression analysis. In a linear relationship, the residuals should be randomly scattered around the horizontal line at zero. However, in a non-linear relationship, the residuals will not be randomly scattered and will show a distinct pattern.

Correct Answer
A. Non-linearExplanation
The given residual plot suggests that the original scatter plot data is non-linear. This is because the residuals, which represent the vertical distance between the observed data points and the predicted values from a linear regression model, do not exhibit a consistent pattern or trend. Instead, they are scattered randomly around the horizontal axis, indicating that a linear model may not accurately capture the relationship between the variables.Rate this question:

A. Non-linearExplanation
The given residual plot suggests that there is no clear pattern or trend in the distribution of the residuals. This indicates that the relationship between the variables in the original scatter plot is not linear. If the data were linear, we would expect to see a more systematic pattern in the residuals.

Correct Answer
A. RandomExplanation
Based on the given scatter plot, it is not possible to determine a clear pattern or trend in the residuals. The residuals appear to be scattered randomly around the horizontal line, indicating that there is no systematic relationship between the predicted values and the residuals. This suggests that the model's predictions are unbiased and that the errors are randomly distributed. Therefore, the residual plot is random.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. PatternedExplanation
A residual plot shows the difference between the observed values and the predicted values in a scatter plot. If the residual plot is patterned, it suggests that there is a systematic relationship between the variables, indicating a non-linear relationship. This means that the relationship between the variables cannot be adequately represented by a straight line. Therefore, the correct answer is "patterned".Rate this question:

We can tell if a scatter plot is linear when the residual plot is :
-
Linear
-
Non-linear
-
Random
-
Patterned
Correct Answer
A. RandomExplanation
When the residual plot is random, it indicates that there is no clear pattern or trend in the residuals. This suggests that the scatter plot is also likely to be random, meaning that there is no strong linear relationship between the variables being plotted. In contrast, if the residual plot showed a clear linear or non-linear pattern, it would suggest that the scatter plot is not linear. Therefore, the correct answer is random.Rate this question:

We transform a scatter plot in order to :
-
Linearise the scatter plot
-
Liniearise the residual
-
Quadrantise the linear graph
-
Find a quadrant for the graph
Correct Answer
A. Linearise the scatter plotExplanation
The correct answer is to linearize the scatter plot. This means that we are trying to transform the scatter plot in such a way that the relationship between the variables becomes more linear. This can be done through various methods such as taking the logarithm of the variables or applying a power transformation. By linearizing the scatter plot, we can better understand the relationship between the variables and make more accurate predictions or interpretations.Rate this question:

Linear Graphs have
-
A random residual plot
-
A linear residual plot
-
Require randomisation to linearise them
-
Require transformation to linearise them
-
A patterned residual plot
Correct Answer
A. A random residual plotExplanation
Linear graphs have a random residual plot because a residual plot is used to assess the linearity of a regression model. In a linear model, the residuals should be randomly scattered around the horizontal line at zero. This indicates that the model is capturing the underlying linear relationship between the variables. If the residual plot shows a random pattern, it suggests that the linear model is appropriate and the residuals are not exhibiting any systematic patterns or trends.Rate this question:

-

-

-
A linear residual plot
Correct Answer(s)
A. A non linear residual plot
A. Require transformation to linearise themExplanation
Non-linear graphs have a non-linear residual plot because the residuals, which are the differences between the observed and predicted values, do not follow a linear pattern. This indicates that the relationship between the variables is not linear and cannot be adequately modeled using a straight line. In order to linearize the graph, a transformation is required. This involves applying a mathematical function to one or both of the variables to transform the relationship into a linear one, making it easier to analyze and interpret.Rate this question:
