When given a set of data where the independent variable is time, it is possible to use statistical techniques to find a line (or curve) of best fit. One of the ways to do this is to minimise the square of the the differences between the actual values which are observed and the values that are predicted by such a curve (fitted values). The slope of this line or of the tangent to the curve at any point, is the least squares trend.
A statistical explanation of the theory or the calculations required are too much for the pathetic browser that we are required to use.

What should you use to find the equation for a line of fit for a scatter plot?
Least squares regression is one of several statistical techniques that could be applied.
How do you find the trend on a line graph?
it is a description of the Slope of the line with respect to the two variables you are plotting. In Statistics, you may be plotting AGE versus Car Mileage and a line drawn through the data is the Trend Line.http://wiki.answers.com/What_does_a_trend_mean_on_a_line_graph#ixzz18qYakrsc
How can you find a probability expressed as a percentage from a punnett square?
You can find probability form a Punnett square by turning fractions into percents
How do you find the range of a bar graph?
Subtract the greatest range by the least and you have your answer.
How can you find a trend on a table or graph?
which ever bar or table that is the most on a table or bar graph... : ) EX: 10 Is the most on the table , 20 is the highest thing on the bar graph
