Question

1. steve drew a trend line for the plotted points. what is steves misunderstanding?

Explanation:

A proper trend line (line of best fit) should balance the distribution of points above and below it, representing the overall direction of the data. Steve's line only follows the lower points and does not account for the upper data points, failing to create a line that fits the general trend of all plotted points.

Answer:

Steve's misunderstanding is that he drew a line that only follows the lower set of data points instead of creating a line of best fit that represents the overall trend of all the plotted points (his line does not balance the points above and below it to show the general direction of the data).
