Following table shows the all India infant mortality rates (per ‘000) for years 1980 to 2010
Year | 1980 | 1985 | 1990 | 1995 |
IMR | 10 | 7 | 5 | 4 |
Year | 2000 | 2005 | 2010 | |

Fit a trend line by the method of least squares
Solution: Let us fit equation of trend line for above data.
Let the equation of trend line be y = a + bx .....(i)
Here n = 7(odd), middle year is `square` and h = 5
Year | IMR (y) | x | x2 | x.y |
1980 | 10 | – 3 | 9 | – 30 |
1985 | 7 | – 2 | 4 | – 14 |
1990 | 5 | – 1 | 1 | – 5 |
1995 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
2000 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
2005 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
2010 | 0 | 3 | 9 | 0 |
Total | 30 | 0 | 28 | – 44 |
The normal equations are
Σy = na + bΣx
As, Σx = 0, a = `square`
Also, Σxy = aΣx + bΣx2
As, Σx = 0, b =`square`
∴ The equation of trend line is y = `square`
Fit equation of trend line for the data given below.
Year | Production (y) | x | x2 | xy |

Let the equation of trend line be y = a + bx .....(i)
Here n = `square` (even), two middle years are `square` and 2011, and h = `square`
The normal equations are Σy = na + bΣx
As Σx = 0, a = `square`
Also, Σxy = aΣx + bΣx2
As Σx = 0, b = `square`
Substitute values of a and b in equation (i) the equation of trend line is `square`
To find trend value for the year 2016, put x = `square` in the above equation.
y = `square`
