CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 330

A data analyst needs to observe the relationship between two numeric variables and identify the clustering pattern as well as the outliers. Which of the following visualizations should the analyst use?

Answer options

• A. Heat map
• B. Tree map
• C. Scatter plot
• D. Stacked chart

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice is C, as a scatter plot effectively displays the relationship between two numeric variables, allowing for the identification of clusters and outliers. The other options, such as heat maps, tree maps, and stacked charts, do not provide the same level of detail for analyzing two-dimensional numeric relationships.
