Statistics Question

maybe but it's not right, starting point is 10, then 5 etc.

In which case it is not linear and the answer is a trinomial as above:

Input = x
Output = y

y = -0.0213x^3 + 0.88x^2 - 10.267x + 42.5

I am 99.7632% confident you have the 5 and 10 the wrong way round.

You could have solved that in under two minutes by plotting it by hand on a piece of paper.

The plot thickens ..

I have a system that generates a linear trend value based on a single array of inputs.

Do you have any additional data points that might help with determining what is going on?

Ah, good old statistics.

Just make it like, like everyone else does.

No one will ever know.

Make sure to prefix the answers with something like :

"In a recent red-brick University scientific study, rigorous analytical testing concluded that..blah blah blah"
