The above image is a scatter plot showing the wife age as a function of the husband age or paired ages. As you can see in the plot above there is a strong relationship between the husband's age and the wife's age...meaning the older the husband the older the wife and vice versa. A scatter plot is a graph of two or more variables that are plotted on the Y-Axis and X-Axis to show their relationship with each other.
