== SCATTER CHARTS ==

==Background ==

Similar to Line Graphs, Scatter Charts are a simple visualization for data points to be plotted without drawn lines connecting them. They are often useful for comparing each point separately or groups of points from different events. Characteristics and behaviors of these data sets may be determined by observing Scatter Charts.

For references, visit [https://zinc.isc-seo.upenn.edu/wi/help/EN/Ewbu260431a.html Scatter Charts] and [http://www.advsofteng.com/gallery_scatter.html More Examples].

== Description ==

Go to the [http://socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Charts.html SOCR Charts] and select Line Charts from the items located on the left, then select the demonstration for Scatter Charts:

The image above is a demonstration of a simple Scatter Chart. Note that below the graph shows the statistical values for each event.

== Applications ==

One of the most persuasive elements when proposing data and literature to others is a well-designed chart presentation.

For example, students in labs may want to present their table of values in a graph. By using the Scatter Chart, every unique data value will be equally represented in the Scatter Chart.

Suppose that researchers are interested in the cholesterol level in a group of adults. By plotting every data set, all of the values are equally represented in the Scatter Chart.

		+	*'''Exercise 1:''' Suppose you are given a set of data points based on the score of each student during the final. Create a scatter plot of the given information. What can be drawn from this set of values? Can the minimum, maximum, and average score be found from the scatter plot?
		+	*'''Exercise 2:''' If you are given the average price of gasoline across the nation, can a scatter plot be made to show the gathered raw information?
		+	*'''Exercise 3:''' Is the scatter plot still useful for data information with less than 5 values? How about for values within a very small range?
