    Sir Unlike the high low method regression analysis uses all available past data
    To calculate the line of best fit

    And
    Like the high low method regression analysis is used to predict a linear relationship between two variables

    Am I correct sir ?

    Yes, although you are not working it quite correctly.

    The high low method assumes that their is a precise linear relationship – it is unlikely to be exactly linear in real life.

    Why is it unlikely to be an exact linear relationship in real life

    Because things don’t go perfectly in real life!!

    Some things do. For example if you use twice as much electricity in a month then you would expect the cost to be exactly twice as much.

    However, if you make twice as many units in a month then the total cost of production will probably be close to twice as much but probably not exactly twice as much – things go wrong 🙂
