What is a Scatter Plot?

A scatter plot uses Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables from a dataset, showing how one variable may be correlated with another.

Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation

y = mx + b, r = (n·Σxy - Σx·Σy) / √([n·Σx² - (Σx)²][n·Σy² - (Σy)²])

Least-squares linear regression and Pearson correlation coefficient.

Worked Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1

Study hours vs exam marks: (1,2), (2,3.5), (3,5.1), (4,6.8), (5,8.2)

Solution: Strong positive correlation (r ≈ 0.999), Trendline y = 1.55x + 0.43
• Positive slope indicates increasing exam scores with increased study time

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does a Pearson r near 1.0 mean?

An r close to +1.0 indicates a very strong positive linear relationship between the two variables.
