Scatter Plot
Definition: A graph that plots individual data points on a coordinate plane to show the relationship between two variables.
When to Use: Use scatter plots to explore the correlation or relationship between two variables. They can help you identify if there's a positive, negative, or no correlation. They are also useful for identifying outliers.

VIDEO WATCHING TIPS: Embedded videos will start at a lower resolution (making the video seem blurry) but typically improve in 10-15 seconds. Once the video is playing you can also select to watch at a higher resolution by selecting the gear icon, the quality drop down menu, then 720p. For a clear video you can also watch on YouTube.
