Data best suited for
|
Scatter plots can be
used when many data points are present and there is interest in determining
whether a correlation exists between the data points. For example,
to determine whether there is a correlation between the outside temperature
and the number of forest fires in a given region, each forest fire
could be plotted at the outside temperature at the time of the forest
fire. When all data points are plotted, the user can either visually
determine whether data points are related, or can use an equation
to determine the correlation between data points by using best-fit
procedures. Note that this determination is not automatically done
by simply creating the scatter plot.
