Observation:
The graph of subscriber verses time and average monthly revenue per subscriber verses time the best fit line fits appropriately to the graph of subscribers verses time.
d.
To find: The pattern that the graph of subscribers verses time with best fit line follow.
Some points are left after the best fit has been drawn with the help of scatter points.
