How do you make a scatter plot look good?
Making an excellent scatter plot
Strive for clarity: Each point on a scatter plot represents one data point. You'll want to make sure that these points are big enough to see, but not so big they obscure each other. Unless you have a very good reason to add color, it is probably best to keep a scatter plot grayscale.
What are the 4 ways to describe a scatter plot?
Form: Is the association linear or nonlinear? Direction: Is the association positive or negative? Strength: Does the association appear to be strong, moderately strong, or weak? Outliers: Do there appear to be any data points that are unusually far away from the general pattern?
