Example

Below is an example of a scatterplot:

ScatterEx1

Each data point in this case represents an individual's score on an attitude toward mathematics survey and their score on a mathematics achievement test. For example, two students scored 46 on the attitude survey and their scores on the math test were 54 and 56. The student who scored 80 on the attitude survey had a 65 on the achievement test. Each point on the scatterplot represents a "pair" of scores.
