Question

Can someone help me translate this into simpler and easier words? Create a line of best fit. Position your ruler on the graph to follow the general trend of the data, then move the ruler and rule a line so that approximately ten (half) data points are above the line, and approximately ten (half) data points and below the line.

Answer 1

Create a line of best fit. Position your ruler in the middle of the general trend (plotted dots on a graph most likely). Draw a straight line between the dots. Make sure about half of the dots are on each side of the line. (Ten dots above the line and ten below.)
