I wanted to validate that what I have understood is correct.

1. I calculated the value of "a" for which the which minimizes the least square for two points ( x, sin(pi*x) ), x being between -1 and 1.

2. Repeated the above for 100 times and hence got 100 values of "a"

3. Then I chose a fresh point x3 between [-1, 1] and calculated the value of y3 = a*x3 for all 100 points

4. Calculated average value of y3 for 100 points, say y_avg.

5. Calculated "a" for avg hypothesis as : y_avg/x3

Is my method of calculating avg hypothesis correct ? Iam not very confident of the answer I am getting
