What is a scatter plot?

A scatter plot is like a visual party for data points! It displays values for two different variables as dots on a Cartesian plane, helping us see relationships, trends, or patterns between them. Each dot represents an observation, with one variable plotted along the x-axis and the other along the y-axis. The closer the dots are to forming a line, the stronger the relationship! When using a scatter plot, it's easy to make some common mistakes. One common issue is inadvertently omitting outliers that can skew the interpretation. Additionally, forgetting to label axes or not providing a clear scale can lead to confusion. Always double-check your work to make those data points shine!
