Question

When you see a graphed cluster of dots depicting the values and relationship of two different variables, you are seeing a visual description of relatedness called a __________.

Answer 1

scatter plot

Explanation:

scatter plots are particularly useful to show the relationship between two non linear quantities to show the correlation between then.

examples of such graph are

1. a graph of height against weight

2. a graph of sales of ice cream against the temperature of the day

3. a graph of height against age

The relationship between these two variables are non linear, therefore a graph of their relationship should produce a scatter plot
