Scatterplot

I created these maps using GeoDa

I created two quantile maps, a scatter plot, and standard deviation map using birth and death rates in North Carolina.  I left the other maps attached to the scatterplot so that the information conveyed could also be represented in other mediums. A scatterplot is defined as a mathematical diagram that uses Cartesian coordinates to show values.  In this scatterplot, birth and death rates of 1979 are plotted by frequency.  The line that goes through the points is known as the trendline and the direction and shape of it explains that birth rates and death rates are positively correlated.
