Craig scored p points in a game. marla scored twice as much as craig but 5 fewer than nelson scored. how many points did nelson score?

Hello!

Craig p= points scored
Marla 2p=points scored
Nelson 2p-5= points scored

Therefore with no numbers to use we just get an simple equation for Nelson’s score.

Nelson score= 2p+5 where p equals Craig’s score.

Hope this helps! Any questions please ask! Thanks!

Connect the two centers to produce the trend line

Step-by-step explanation:

When the dots have been plotted, there are three steps to find the trend line on a scatter plot:

1.  Draw a vertical line that separates the full set of points into two sets, each with the same number of dots.

2.Mark with a special sign (e.g + or ×) the middle value in each of the two sets obtained in the previous step.

3.Join the two marks mentioned in the step (2) with a straight line, and extend it to the edges of the graph. This line is the trend line, and this is the last step.

Thus, the last step when using the divide-center method to find the line on scatter plot is Connect the two centers to produce the trend line.
