Question

what does a scatter plot help visualize?
a. the sum of data points
b. the relationship between two variables
c. the average of a data set
d. the range of a data set

Explanation:

A scatter plot is a graph that shows the relationship between two variables. Each point on the plot represents a pair of values for the two variables. By looking at the pattern of the points, we can see if there is a positive, negative, or no relationship between the variables. For example, if the points form a line that goes up from left to right, there is a positive relationship. If the points form a line that goes down from left to right, there is a negative relationship. If the points are scattered randomly, there is no relationship.
The sum of data points (a) is calculated by adding all the values together and is not visualized by a scatter plot. The average of a data set (c) is calculated by dividing the sum of the data points by the number of data points and is also not visualized by a scatter plot. The range of a data set (d) is calculated by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value and is not visualized by a scatter plot.

Answer:

B. The relationship between two variables
