Questions about the relationship between two variables are asked all the time. Will time spent in a certain rehab program really increase an addict's chance of not relapsing? Will extra minutes spent training athletes result in better performance or increase fatigue and decrease performance? Is the increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere really increasing the earth's temperature? All these questions can be addressed by statistics and analyzed initially through a display called a scatterplot.
