Creating a scatter plot
A scatter plot is technically a collection of scattered points. Scatter plots require measures (numeric values) on both the vertical and horizontal axes. Scatter plots allow us to see the relationship between two variables, and are great for visualizing clusters, showing possible correlations, and spotting outliers.
In this recipe, we will use a data source that compiled the highest-paid players in 2014. We will create a scatter plot to see whether there is a general correlation between the earnings of a top player, and the value of their endorsement deals.
