A new car wash business records the number of cars it washes each day for the first 7 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. Why is the equation not a good fit for the data?

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

• The equation is a good fit because the residual points have a positive association.

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

• 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.
