scatterplots
Dots showing correlation
Scatterplots are graphs that display data points as dots on a two-dimensional grid, with each axis representing a different variable.
They reveal relationships between variables—whether correlation exists, how strong it is, and whether it's positive or negative.
The scatterplot showed a clear relationship between hours studied and test scores.
Also called scatter diagrams or scatter graphs.
