Scatterplot graphs may not mean much to most people, but to an educated statistician, or a trained psychoanalyst, a scatterplott graph can tell a person much more than meets the eye. A scatterplot graph allows us to take two separate sets of data, and use a graph to compare and contrast them. If one wanted to show the correlation between two different test scores, they could simply plot the scores on the graph, and either …

Psychoanalysts and statisticians use scatterplot graphs to do many things. Finding out the correlation between two things would be very difficult without a scatterplot graph because it would be very hard to notice a slight likeness between the two things. This is why scatterplots are important, and why they are used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
