This map is an example of a scatter plot. With this type of map, we get to see a lot of information all presented on one map. It allows us to look at information with very large sample sizes together at once. We get the chance to compare two variables, in this case, the eruptions of Old Faithful, and the duration of eruption compared to time between eruptions. We can clearly see that there are a vast amount of data and this type of map is perfect for presenting it all. There is a line of best fit present here that shows us where the average of the data is. We can see that as the length of time is smaller, around fifty seconds, we get shorter eruptions. However, when the length of time between them is much longer, we see eruptions that have longer durations. This makes sense because as time builds up, so does the water and it is reflected in the eruption duration. These types of visualizations are great for large sample sizes.
