Scatterplot

A scatterplot is a type of graph that displays individual data points based on two variables, one plotted along the x-axis (horizontal) and the other along the y-axis (vertical). The position of each point represents the values of the two variables for a particular observation, helping to show patterns or relationships in the data, such as correlations or clusters.

Example

behavior analyst tracks the frequency of a student’s outbursts (y-axis) across different times of day (x-axis). The scatterplot shows how the outbursts are distributed throughout the day. If the data points cluster around a specific time period, it suggests that outbursts are more likely to occur at that time, helping the analyst identify patterns and potential triggers.
