Question
- what is a scatter plot?
a a graph with dots
b a graph that has points plotted that form a linear relationship
c a display of points that shows the relationship between two data sets
d a non - linear graph
A scatter plot's core purpose is to visually represent and examine the relationship (if any) between two different numerical data sets. Option A is too vague (many graphs can use dots), Option B is incorrect because scatter plots do not require a linear relationship (they can show no relationship or non-linear ones), and Option D is wrong as scatter plots are not defined as non-linear graphs (they can align with a linear trend or have no clear trend at all).
