When constructing a Scatter Plot, the ____________________ variable is placed on the vertical axis and the ________________ variable is placed on the horizontal axis.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When constructing a scatter plot, the standard convention is to place the dependent variable on the vertical axis (y-axis) and the independent variable on the horizontal axis (x-axis), because the dependent variable is what you measure and it depends on the level of the independent variable.
Option 1: 'Dependent; Independent' This aligns with the normal convention, placing the dependent variable on the vertical axis and the independent variable on the horizontal axis.
Option 2: 'Independent; Dependent' This reverses the usual arrangement, placing the independent variable on the vertical axis and the dependent variable on the horizontal axis, which goes against standard practice and can lead to misinterpretation of the relationship being depicted.
