How do you work out a scatter graph?

Scatter Diagram Procedure

Collect pairs of data where a relationship is suspected.
Draw a graph with the independent variable on the horizontal axis and the dependent variable on the vertical axis.
Look at the pattern of points to see if a relationship is obvious.
Divide points on the graph into four quadrants.

What are the 5 parts of a scatter plot?

Examining X-Y (Scatter) Plots

The Title. The title offers a short explanation of what is in your graph.
The Legend. The legend tells what each point represents.
The Source. The source explains where you found the information that is in your graph.
Y-Axis.
The Data.
X-Axis.

What do scatter plots tell us?

A scatterplot displays the strength, direction, and form of the relationship between two quantitative variables. A correlation coefficient measures the strength of that relationship.

What do the dots on a scatter plot represent?

A scatter plot is a graphical representation where the values of two data variables are plotted along the x and y axis. Each dot represents both the x and y values for a single location, such as a ZIP Code or county.

How do you find the relationship in a scatter plot?

We often see patterns or relationships in scatterplots. When the y variable tends to increase as the x variable increases, we say there is a positive correlation between the variables. When the y variable tends to decrease as the x variable increases, we say there is a negative correlation between the variables.

How do you describe the relationship of a scatter plot?

When we look at scatterplot, we should be able to describe the association we see between the variables. A quick description of the association in a scatterplot should always include a description of the form, direction, and strength of the association, along with the presence of any outliers.
