What do scatter diagrams help to illustrate?

The correlation between variables
The causation of project failures
The process for gathering data
The flow of processes within a business

The correct answer is: The correlation between variables

Scatter diagrams help to illustrate the correlation between variables. They are used to visually represent the relationship between two different variables to determine if there is a relationship or pattern existing between them. By plotting the data points on a graph, it becomes easier to identify any trends or patterns that may exist, thereby helping project managers to make informed decisions based on the relationship between the variables. On the other hand, the other options are not related to what scatter diagrams help to illustrate: B. The causation of project failures - Scatter diagrams do not determine the causation but rather the relationship between variables. C. The process for gathering data - Scatter diagrams do not illustrate the process for gathering data but rather the correlation between variables. D. The flow of processes within a business - Scatter diagrams do not depict the flow of processes but rather relationships between variables.
