Definition

Bivariate data involves the analysis of two variables to determine relationships between them.

Description

Bivariate data is essential in statistics as it allows for the exploration of relationships between two variables, such as height and weight. This analysis is used in various fields, including economics, biology, and social sciences, to understand correlations and causations.

For example, a scatter plot can be used to visually represent bivariate data, helping to identify trends or patterns.

Understanding bivariate data is crucial for students as it forms the basis for more complex statistical analyses, such as regression.
