Drawing Trend Lines

Question 5 • FL-1205070-M/J Grade 8 Pre-Algebra Q2 Teacher-Led Remediation

Which step comes last when using the divide-center method to find the trend line on a scatterplot?

Answer
A
Approximate the center of the cluster located on the left side of the line, and repeat for the right side of the line.
B
Connect the two centers to produce the trend line.
C
Disregard all outliers.
D
Draw a vertical line so that each side has the same number of data points.

Explanation

First, draw a vertical line that divides the data points into two groups with about the same number of points. Then estimate the center of each group. The last step is to connect those two centers to produce the trend line, so the correct choice is “Connect the two centers to produce the trend line.”
