Keywords
Scatter graph - A visual representation for bivariate data. It can be useful when determining the nature of the relationship between the two variables.
Independent/explanatory - An independent (explanatory) variable is a measure that is predicted to have an effect on another variable
Dependent/response - A dependent (response) variable is a measure whose value is predicted to be affected by an explanatory variable
Bivariate data - Bivariate data has two variables, where each data point for one variable has a corresponding data point for the other variable.
