To see how two variables relate, you plot one on the horizontal axis and the other on the vertical axis and look at the pattern of points. A scatter diagram shows whether there’s a relationship and what kind: an upward trend indicates a positive correlation, a downward trend indicates a negative correlation, and a random scatter suggests little or no correlation. It also shows how strong that relationship is by how tightly the points cluster around a straight line, and it can reveal outliers or nonlinear relationships. Histograms display the distribution of a single variable, Pareto charts highlight the most significant factors, and flow charts map the steps in a process, so they don’t directly show how two variables relate.
