A Machine Learning Specialist is attempting to build a linear regression model. Given the displayed residual plot only, what is the MOST likely problem with the model?
A.
Linear regression is inappropriate. The residuals do not have constant variance.
B.
Linear regression is inappropriate. The underlying data has outliers.
C.
Linear regression is appropriate. The residuals have a zero mean.
D.
Linear regression is appropriate. The residuals have constant variance.
I would choose A. See: https://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pmd/section4/pmd442.htm and
https://blog.minitab.com/blog/the-statistics-game/checking-the-assumption-of-constant-variance-in-regression-analyses
Answer A.
One of the key assumptions of linear regression is that the residuals have constant variance at every level of the predictor variable(s). If this assumption is not met, the residuals are said to suffer from heteroscedasticity. When this occurs, the estimates for the model coefficients become unreliable

D is best answer
all x values are scattering as a whole , no matter what x is

if you take all x values to plot histogram , it will be bel-curv.
