Yes. The residuals' distribution pattern resembles a haphazard dispersion around the horizontal line at 0.
The horizontal plot in this instance comprises points that are unstructured and randomly dispersed around the horizontal mean line.
These are also points below the mean above the mean. This shows that some points in the distribution of data points are above and some are below the least square line, which crosses through the distribution.
The least-square line model would not produce adequate results if, in a residual plot, the majority of the data points are located roughly in a straight line or on either side of the horizontal line.
A residual plot must have data points randomly distributed on both sides of the horizontal mean line in order to produce good results.

COMPLETE QUESTION:
if the least-squares line provides a reasonable model for the data, the pattern of points in the plot will seem random and unstructured about the horizontal line at 0. is this the case for the residual plot?
