Assessing the goodness of fit of a regression line involves considering several things, and no single characteristic of data is sufficient for a good assessment. Consider the characteristics below. How does each contribute to an assessment of fit? That is, for each piece of information, what about it would indicate a "good" best-fit line?

a) The demonstration of seriously influential points
b) The coefficient of determination
