In the method of least squares, we find trend values using:
- A Variance
- B Mean
- C Line of best fit
- D Central limit theorem
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Variance
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The method of least squares calculates trend values by identifying the line of best fit for a dataset. It achieves this by minimizing the sum of the squares of the vertical distances between the actual data points and the line itself. (C) Line of best fit
