Scatter Plot


Scatter plots can be used to represent geographic information. They show the relationship between two variables, with one variable pinned to the x-axis and the other pinned to the y-axis. Scatter plots are used in statistics and geography alike. They are useful for determining correlation between the two variables. In the scatter plot above, there is positive correlation between husbands' ages compared to wives' ages. These scatter plots might also show weak correlation or no correlation at all.
