○ Scater‌‌Plot‌‌-‌A

‌ catter‌g
‌ raph‌)‌‌uses‌‌dots‌‌to‌‌represent‌‌
values‌‌for‌‌two‌‌different‌‌numeric‌‌variables.‌‌The‌‌position‌‌of‌‌each‌‌dot‌‌on‌‌the‌‌horizontal‌‌
and‌‌vertical‌‌axis‌‌indicates‌‌values‌‌for‌‌an‌‌individual‌‌data‌‌point.‌S
‌ catter‌p
‌ lots‌‌‌are‌‌used‌‌to‌‌
observe‌‌relationships‌‌between‌‌variables.‌ ‌If‌‌one‌‌draws‌‌a‌‌circle‌‌around‌‌the‌‌plotted‌‌
points,‌‌the‌‌more‌‌narrow‌‌the‌‌oval‌‌that‌‌forms‌‌the‌‌greater‌‌indicator‌‌of‌‌a‌‌relationship‌‌
between‌‌the‌‌two‌‌variables.‌ ‌Example:‌‌ ‌Plotting‌‌a‌‌classes‌‌measurements‌‌of‌‌
