Scatter charts are an essential part of data visualization and analysis. They enable us to understand patterns, correlations, and trends in a dataset. But, how exactly do we read and interpret them? In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about reading and interpreting a scatter chart. Keep reading.<\/p>\n
A scatter chart, also known as a scatter plot or scatter graph, is a mathematical diagram that uses Cartesian coordinates to display values of typically two variables for a set of data. This type of visualization is particularly useful when dealing with large amounts of data points and when looking for potential correlations and trends.<\/p>\n
The data in a scatter chart is represented as a collection of points. Each point’s position on a horizontal and vertical axis represents values for an individual data point. Scatter charts can accommodate a large number of data points without becoming cluttered, providing a thorough representation of a data set.<\/p>\n
