Create a Scatter Plot

The following steps examine the relationship between wind speed and atmospheric pressure for tropical cyclones. The National Hurricane Center routinely reports both of these quantities as indicators of a storm’s intensity. The figures in this section assume that you have excluded observations with low wind speeds as described in the section Exclude Observations.

Select Graph Scatter Plot from the main menu.

The Scatter Plot dialog box appears. (See Figure 2.13.)
