This shows you the average quality score for your reads at each position. On this plot, you'll see that each column represents a position (1-100). Each column also has a value represented by the blue line. This is your average score at that position across your reads. Most of the reads start of strong (Phred score > 30), but then they tapers toward the end where the score drops beneath the standard threshold of 30. The base calls with scores less than 30 should be trimmed (removed).
