What is the difference between a scatterplot and a line grap

What is the difference between a scatterplot and a line graph? Provide an example of each. Does one seem better than the other? In what ways is it better?

Solution

Solution

            A   Scatter Plot   is used to identify   and   describe potential   trends within   a

           given data set , Pieces of    data   are collected   and translated   into   points

           that , when graphed , can   be used to define the nature behind   two   correlated

         variables ( x and y ) . A line graph on the other hand displays the direct  

           relationship   between the variables   x and y . The Points   plotted   along   any

          graphed line exist    in    infinite numbers and   can   be inspected   further   by

          simply   increasing   or decreasing   the increments   used to create   the range

      for   each of the two variables .

          For Example , one hoping   to uncover a possible relation   between a city\'s recent

        increase in crime rate   and heightened    temperatures caused   by    the entrance of

         a   heat   wave into the   area . Line Graphs , However   are better suited   in circumstances

         of record keeping . such as   a retailer \'s Quaterly Profit   percentages being used   to

       Produce annual sales projections for the upcoming years .
