Today in class what we did was to organize 4 graphs from 1-Best 4-worst.
We had to give a class vote on the orders:
4,2,3,1 (20 people)
4,3,2,1 (5 people)
20 people got the order right.

Format the trade line. Press control click and then you have to then go to format tredline and then go to options after click display R.

Insert a new work sheet, then you are going to make a X and Y chart. Take one of your graphs, take the information in that graph and make it into X and Y chart.
After you do that highlight the points you want to graph.
Then click on insert chart
Choose scatter plot.
Click o chart menu.
Add trend line
Go to “options”

After you are done with this which will look something like this:

You need to tell Mr.Rochester what was your error if you had one.
