A colleague generates a best-fit line through a set of data points and asks you to confirm its usefulness and goodness-of-fit. You perform a root-mean-squared-error (RMSE) calculation and come up with a very small RMSE value.
 
  Based on this value you determine that the best-fit line
  A) deviates far from the data points.
  B) fits the data well.
