Scatter plots and correlation
A scatter plot displays paired values of two numerical variables. An upward pattern indicates positive correlation, a downward pattern negative correlation, and no clear direction weak or no linear correlation.
Interpretation and prediction
The closer the points lie to a line, the stronger the linear relationship. A line of best fit supports interpolation within the data range, while extrapolation beyond it is less reliable. Correlation alone does not establish causation; a third factor or chance may explain the pattern.
