Solution

The properties that the residuals should always display are:

  1. Mean 0: The residuals are the differences between the observed and predicted values. If the model is well-fitted, the sum of these differences should be zero, which means the mean of the residuals should be zero.

  2. Small variance: A well-fitted model should have residuals that are small in magnitude. This means that the variance of the residuals should be small.

  3. A symmetric distribution: The residuals should be symmetrically distributed around zero. This is because a well-fitted model should underpredict and overpredict the observed values equally.

The residuals do not necessarily need to display a bimodal distribution or all positive values. In fact, if all residuals were positive, it would indicate that the model is consistently underpredicting the observed values, which is not a characteristic of a well-fitted model. Similarly, a bimodal distribution of residuals could indicate that the model is not fitting the data well in certain areas.
