Formula:
A Scatter Plot is a graphical representation of the relationship between two variables, typically denoted as X and Y. Each pair of (X, Y) values forms a single point on a two-dimensional graph.
While the plot itself is visual, related statistical calculations often include the Linear Regression Equation, which describes the line of best fit through the data points. The formula for a simple linear regression line is:
Y = mX + b
- m (slope) = `(n∑xy - ∑x∑y) / (n∑x² - (∑x)²) `
- b (y-intercept) = `(∑y - m∑x) / n`
Where:
- n = total number of data pairs
- ∑x = sum of all X values
- ∑y = sum of all Y values
- ∑xy = sum of the product of each X and Y pair
- ∑x² = sum of the square of each X value
- ∑y² = sum of the square of each Y value
Additionally, the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between the two variables, ranging from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation), with 0 indicating no linear correlation.
