SCATTER PLOTS AND LEAST SQUARES LINE


In this unit, you will learn about scatter plots. Scatter plots are used to show how two variables relate to each other by showing how closely the data points cluster to a line (line of best fit, least squares line). Scatter plots can be used to predict relationships between two sets of data like those related to weather.
