Instructions

Analyze relationships between variables for $ARGUMENTS using scatter graphs.

Framework

Scatter Plot Types

Pattern	Meaning	Action
↑ Positive	Direct correlation	Leverage relationship
↓ Negative	Inverse correlation	Manage trade-off
○ None	No correlation	Look for other factors
◐ Clustered	Segments exist	Analyze separately
