Math Problem Statement

Briefly describe scatter diagram.

Solution

A scatter diagram, or scatter plot, is a type of graph that displays data points for two variables on a Cartesian plane, allowing you to observe potential relationships or correlations between them. Each point represents a pair of values, typically plotted along the x-axis (independent variable) and y-axis (dependent variable). By looking at the pattern of points, you can identify trends, clusters, or any possible correlation (positive, negative, or no correlation) between the variables.
