If we carefully examine the data in the example above, we notice that those students with high SAT scores tend to have high GPAs, and those with low SAT scores tend to have low GPAs. Can you think of other scenarios when we would use bivariate data?

Bivariate data are data sets in which each subject has two observations associated with it. \)īivariate Data, Correlation Between Values, and the Use of ScatterplotsĬorrelation measures the relationship between bivariate data.
