A scatterplot is a type of mathematical graph. The data is plotted using a single dot that corresponds with the x and y axis. After the dots are graphed a line is placed in the general movement of the data. If more dots are concentrated to the upper right hand side of a standard graph then the overall notion is that the data is increasing. The graph above plots the eruptions of Old Faithful. On the y axis is the time between eruptions and on the x axis is the magnitude of eruptions. We can decipher that the longer between eruptions the more violent the eruptions are.
