What is predict, then subtract?
Show answer
The actual value is 2 units above the line, so the model under-predicts this point by 2.
What is the residual plot?
Show answer
A residual plot graphs each residual (vertical axis) against the explanatory variable (horizontal axis). It magnifies the leftover pattern that the eye cannot see in the original scatterplot.
