Explain what is scatter plot with an example using matplotlib?

This recipe explains what what is scatter plot with an example using matplotlib

Recipe Objective

What is scatter plot? Explain with an example.

A scatter plot uses two different numeric arrays or lists. The position of each point on the graph is taken from both the arrays on the horizontal and vertical axes. Scatter plots are used to observe relationships between variables.

Step 1- Importing Libraries.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

Step 2- Creating arrays

x=np.array([2,5,7,9,10,11,15,18,21,24,27,33,38,40,55,64])
y=np.array([5,1,9,5,10,13,19,15,21,24,28,35,41,45,50,71])

Step 3- Plotting Scatter Plot.


plt.scatter(x, y, label = "scatter_sample", color='r')
plt.xlabel('xaxis') 
plt.ylabel('yaxis')
plt.legend()
