Statistics

• Scatter Plot: Use specific points on a data set to mark specific coordinates or frequencies. However, unlike the line plot, the points are not connected. The independent variable is on the x-axis (or horizontal). The independent variable can be controlled or manipulated. In this case, the independent variable is the quality of the peanut butter. The dependent variable is the variable in the regression that cannot be controlled or manipulated, which is on the y-axis, or vertical. In this case, it is the price of the peanut butter.

• Pie Chart: A circle, or “pie,” that is separated to represent a portion of the whole. Usually this is based on 100%. From this we can see that romance has the largest slice, which represents the most favorite type of movie.
