Steps for calculating the best-fitting line

1.Turn the calculator on and press STAT to enter the statistics menu. Access the data entry screen by touching A EDIT and pressing ENTER . Delete old data and enter the following data set:

X Y 25 32 28 33 31 27 40 38 29 30

Check the data you have entered and correct any errors you may find.
