Visualizing relationships between variables is a key part of analyzing research data, especially when you want to understand how one variable may influence another. In research, a common task is to examine the connection between two continuous variables, such as the number of hours students spend studying and their resulting exam scores. Scatter plots are an effective way to display this relationship, and calculating the correlation coefficient quantifies the strength and direction of the association. Annotating the plot with the correlation value helps make your findings immediately clear to readers.
