Line of best fit (1 Viewer)

[DiValdez]

Is it required in biology graphs as well as physics and chems?

so you lose marks if your draw the graph by connecting the points?

 

[Menomaths]

Yeah, if it says line of best fit you disregard the outliers or some shit. They can ask you this in Chem/Phys/Bio.

 

[DiValdez]

so if it says? or you normal do it if it asks for a graph?

I doubt that you will ever be asked to draw a 'normal' graph. You're usually asked for a line of best fit. But make sure you can differentiate between the need for a line of best fit or a curve of best fit according to the data given. In our last physics trial it asked for a 'line of best fit' but the criteria indicated that a curve was necessary, rather than a straight line. Luckily I somehow misread the question and drew a curve.

I love when this happens! 'Missreading' the question and getting it right

Haha yeah! I felt terrible after the exam when I found out it said 'line' but ended up getting it right lmao.
