What is a scatter plot?

A scatter plot (or scatter chart) displays the relationship between two quantitative variables by placing data points on a two-dimensional grid. Each point represents an observation, with its position determined by the values of the two variables. Scatter plots are one of the most effective ways to reveal correlations, clusters, and outliers in your data.
