Drawing a horizontal line, writing "error" above it, and initialing it is the correct method for correcting an error in a chart. This ensures that the original information is still visible, but the error is clearly identified and corrected. Using correction fluid, scribbling through the error, or using red ink are not appropriate methods as they may obscure the original information or make the correction difficult to read. Removing the page and starting over is also not necessary as long as the correction is clearly identified.
