Question

What is the purpose of the scatter plot/diagram?

Answer 1

scatter plot shows us data for two variables, where one variable is dependent and other variable is independent variable

Independent variable is plotted on horizontal axis whereas the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical axis

Scatter plot shows data in dots, i.e. for each paired data of x and y, it will show us a dot on the plot

Scatter plot helps us in showing the relationship between two variables, i.e. it helps us in knowing how one variable is changing or affecting the other variable
