What is a Scatter Chart?
Scatter charts plot individual data points on a two-dimensional plane, with one variable on the x-axis and another on the y-axis. They're essential for identifying correlations, clusters, and outliers in data. Scatter charts reveal whether variables have positive correlations (both increase together), negative correlations (one increases while the other decreases), or no correlation at all.
Scatter charts are particularly valuable in scientific research, quality control, and exploratory data analysis. They can handle datasets with hundreds or thousands of points and still maintain readability through color coding or bubble size variation. Adding trend lines to scatter charts helps visualize the strength of relationships and make predictions based on historical patterns.
