Scatter Plot Map



A Scatter plot map is a map that is similar to a line graph in that they use horizontal and vertical axes to plot data points, but they have a very specific purpose. The difference between the two is how each graph plots data along the x-axis. Scatter plots show how much one variable is affected by another, displaying the data in clusters. The relationship between two variables is called their correlation. This map is a scatter plot map because it the number of recruites is affected by the total percent of the population, thereby, displaying its results in a cluster like display.
