The dataset is on the weights of 20 ounce boxes of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs breakfast cereal, with 10,000 data entries. Immediately, what came to mind is the range of the data and what the near-average is within a sample of 10,000. With that said, the scatter plot helps to delineate where most of the entries fall in between, with the density of the plotted dots. It can be seen immediately that the range is between 19.924 and 21. Although the dataset only highlights one variable – weight – it is extremely useful to take a glance at whether or not this dataset falls within certain requirements, like a range for weight.
This data set puts 10,000 data entries into one graphic, which helps us understand where the MAJORITY of the data is centered around. This cannot be done easily by navigating through 10,000 data entries so a scatter plot helps to plot the individual weights as a whole to give a more immediate and complete idea. As well, hovering over the data points where the points start to condense gives us the range of where most of the data sits.
