Best Answer

It is a chart that plots the relationship between two paired sets of data, plotting one set of data from each pair on the horizontal (X) axis, and the second set of data from each pair on the vertical (Y) axis.

An example of a paired set of data you could plot using a scatter chart could be the average frequency a couple has sex relative to how many years the couple have been in a relationship.

A scatter chart can show the points by themselves or link them with lines, either straight or curved lines. This enables different kinds of charts to be shown, like bell curves or sine waves for example.
