Scatter Plot (2)

• Designate one variable x and the other y.
• Although in some cases it does not matter which is which, in cases where one variable is used to predict the other, x is the "predictor" variable (the variable you're predicting from).
• Draw axes of equal length for your graph.
• Determine the range of values for each variable. Place the high values of x to the right on the horizontal axis and the high values of y toward the top of the vertical axis. Label convenient points along each axis.
• For each pair of scores, find the point of intersection for the x and y values and indicate it with a dot.
• Label each axis and give the entire graph a name.
