A new car wash business records the number of cars it washes each day for the first
days the business is open. The data are shown in the table.

The car wash owner uses the equation
y = x + 44 to model the data, where
x represents the number of days the business has been open and
y represents the number of cars washed.
Which explanation best describes whether the equation is a good fit for the data?

A) The equation is a good fit because the residual points are approximately linear.

B) The equation is a good fit because the residual points have a positive association

C) The equation is not a good fit because a residual plot with the pattern from this data set indicates a bad fit.

D) The equation is not a good fit because there should be an equal number of points below and above the x-axis in the
residual plot
