Scatter Plot Calculator

Summarize paired data: means, ranges, covariance, Pearson correlation, and an ASCII scatter to eyeball the relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a scatter plot show?

The relationship between two paired variables. Points climbing left-to-right = positive correlation; falling = negative; scattered = none.

Why use correlation r?

It standardizes covariance to a -1 to +1 scale, so you can compare relationships across different units.

Is r enough to summarize the relationship?

Only if the relationship is roughly linear. Always look at the scatter; r misses curves and clusters.
