Solution

The funnel shape in a residuals plot indicates a violation of the equal variance assumption, also known as homoscedasticity. This assumption states that the variance of errors is constant across all levels of the independent variables. When this assumption is violated, it is referred to as heteroscedasticity, which is what the funnel shape in your residuals plot is indicating.
