In the context of bivariate data, what does the term "residual" refer to?

• The difference between the observed value and the predicted value.

• The slope of the regression line.

• The y-intercept of the regression line.

• The correlation coefficient.

In a scatter plot, what does it mean if the points are very close to the regression line?

• The correlation is weak.

• The correlation is strong.

• There is no correlation.

• The variables are independent.

What does the term "line of best fit" refer to in a scatter plot?

• A line that passes through all the data points.

• A line that minimises the distance of all points from the line.

• A line that maximises the distance of all points from the line.

• A line that is parallel to the x-axis.
