• Scatterplot is used to show the relationship between two variables, like heights and weights or lunch - buying and months with correlation check.
• Stem - and - Leaf Plot is good for showing individual data values like test scores or basketball game scores.
• Histogram is used to display the frequency distribution of data within intervals, such as height ranges of players, grade ranges, height ranges of football team members, and age ranges of movie - goers.
• Box - and - Whisker Plot is used to show the median, quartiles, and range of data, like median cost of gas, median and quartiles of test grades, and median score of basketball games.
