Acompany performs linear regression to compare data sets for two similar products. if the residuals for brand a are randomly scattered above and below the x-axis, and the residuals for brand b form from a u-shaped pattern, what can be concluded?

Prediction for brand A will be better as compared to brand B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

A company performs linear regression to compare data sets for two similar products.

The residuals for brand A are randomly scattered above and below the x-axis, and the residuals for brand B form from a U-shaped pattern.

Homoscadacity in Residuals:

In a linear regression we want our residuals to have constant variance that is is we want to minimize the noise. This can be verified if the scatter plot of the residuals shows randomness and does no show any pattern.

Since the residuals of brand A are randomly distributed, it is a good thing, the regression will give better results as compare to brand B where the residuals form a pattern(U shaped).

The prediction for brand B will not be so good and we need some other approach to predict brand B.

i would need to see the dot plot : )

  the correct choice is marked

step-by-step explanation:

the first two graphs show multiple turning points. the last graphs matches the description in every detail.
