Scatterplot

Scatterplot
Scatterplots uses a coordinate plane to display two variable for a set of data. Marked as a collection of points, each point has a value of two variables- one from the x-axis and one from the y-axis. The collection of points are related to each other in what is known as the correlation- positive (rising), negative (falling) or uncorrelated (completely scattered). This example is for an experiment that is measuring a explanatory variable and a response variable, having a positive correlation.
