Scattergrams

The simplest thing we can do with two variables that we believe
are related is to draw a scattergram. A scattergram is a simple
graph that plots values of our dependent variable Y and independent
variable X. Normally we plot our dependent variable on the vertical axis and
the independent variable on the horizontal axis.

Just from our scattergram, we can sometimes get a fairly good idea
of the ...
