Did you know that scatterplots are commonly used in statistics to display the relationship between two variables? The type of trend displayed in a scatterplot can vary, but it is often described as either positive, negative, or no trend. A positive trend means that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase. Conversely, a negative trend indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease. Lastly, a scatterplot with no trend suggests that there is no apparent relationship between the two variables being analyzed. So, by examining the pattern in a scatterplot, we can gain valuable insights into the type of trend that best describes the relationship between the variables of interest.
