szórásdiagram

A szórásdiagram, often referred to as a scatter plot in English, is a type of mathematical diagram that displays values for typically two variables for a set of data. Each point on the diagram represents an observation, with the position of the point determined by the values of the two variables being plotted. One variable is plotted on the horizontal axis and the other on the vertical axis. Szórásdiagrams are useful for observing relationships between variables, such as correlation. If the points tend to cluster along a line, it suggests a linear relationship. The direction of this clustering can indicate a positive correlation (as one variable increases, the other tends to increase) or a negative correlation (as one variable increases, the other tends to decrease). They can also reveal patterns like clusters, gaps, or outliers in the data. Szórásdiagrams are widely used in statistics, data analysis, and science to visualize and understand data distributions and potential associations. They are a fundamental tool for initial data exploration and hypothesis generation.
