42.) Scatterplot


Scatterplot:

A scatter plot only specifies variables or independent variables when a variable exists that is under the control of the experimenter. If a parameter exists that is systematically incremented and/or decremented by the experimenter, it is called the control parameter or independent variable and is customarily plotted along the horizontal axis. The measured or dependent variable is customarily plotted along the vertical axis. If no dependent variable exists, either type of variable can be plotted on either axis and a scatter plot will illustrate only the degree of correlation (not causation) between two variables. This map shows the relationship between grip strength and arm strength depicted in (also described in the introductory section) is 0.63.
