The two models shown were developed to represent the data.

Create a residual plot for each model and select the true statement based on the residuals for each model.

A.

The residual plot for model 2 has a non-random pattern and is a good fit for the data.

B.

The residual plot for model 1 has a non-random pattern and is a good fit for the data.

C.

The residual plot for model 1 has a random pattern and is a good fit for the data.

D.

The residual plot for model 2 has a random pattern and is a good fit for the data.
