Question

Write merits and limitations of scatter diagram method.

✓

Answer

Following are the merits and limitations of scatter diagram method.

Merits :
- This is a simple method to know the nature of the correlation between two variables.
- Less mathematical knowledge is required as the knowledge of plotting the points is only requirement in this method.
- It also gives some idea about strength of correlation between two variables.
- There is no difficulty in judging the nature of correlation even if some pairs of extreme observations are present in the data.
Limitations :
- This method gives nature of correlation and some idea about strength of correlation but it does not give exact degree of relationship between two variables.
- This method is not useful in bivariate frequency distribution.
