A scatter plot is a type of graph used in Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to visualize the relationship between two continuous variables. It displays the data points as points on a coordinate grid, with the x-axis representing one variable and the y-axis representing the other.
The primary purpose of a scatter plot is to:
Show the strength and direction of the relationship between the two variables
Identify patterns, correlations, or outliers in the data
Help identify potential relationships that may not be immediately apparent from looking at individual variables
