Scatter Plot

A chart that plots two numeric variables as points to reveal relationships, clusters and outliers.

Definition

Scatter plots are the first step before computing a correlation. Trend lines, color for categories and bubble size for a third variable add information, and dense data may need transparency or binning.

Exam tip

Relationship between two numeric variables = scatter plot.
