Scatter Plots in Statistical Reasoning
- The main purpose of using scatter plots in statistical reasoning is to visualize the relationship between two variables.

- When the points in a scatter plot form a straight line sloping upwards from left to right, it indicates a strong positive linear relationship between the two variables.
- If the points in a scatter plot are spread out and do not follow a clear pattern, it suggests that there is no correlation or relationship between the two variables.
