scattered diagrams

Dear Student,

I think you might be asking about the definition of scattered diagram. Scattered Diagram is a graphical measure of estimating the direction, magnitude and degree of correlation existing between the two variables. Under this method, different values of the two variables are plotted on a graph. The set of points obtained is called as the scatter diagram. An analysis of the scatter diagram can give a fair idea of the degree of correlation between the two variables.

All the best for your exams!!
