Hi, I was just wondering how do you draw the least sqaures of regression line onto your scatter diagram, it seems to come up alot but im not sure what to do. Thanks

If you are just eyeballing it you want to try to put the line through the "center" of your points, so that half the data is above the line and half below, and even moreso you want to try to make the (square) of the distances of the points to the line be equal on top of and below the line
ohh thankyou! never though about it just like plotting normal (Giggle) thanks again (Rofl)
To plot scatter diagram, you simply put the dots on the x-y plane.Quote:
