The data is plotted on the graph as cartesian xy coordinates. In the tasks section expand the graph folder and then double click scatter plot. If you run tab height weight and sift through the rather large amount of output it creates youll find a weakness of these plots. Lectures by walter lewin. Identification of correlational relationships are common with scatter plots. The user interface for the scatter plot task opens.
Curve of best fit y intercept and interpolation. In the tasks section expand the graph folder and then double click scatter plot. Scatter weight age height this plot suggests that while weight is positively related to height age and height have a very weak relationship if any. Scatter plots a scatter xy plot has points that show the relationship between two sets of data. Sometimes two people have the same height and weight. In this example you want to create a scatter plot of height versus weight.
