Axes (Statistics)

In statistics, axes are the reference lines on a graph that help us understand and interpret data. The horizontal line, called the x-axis, typically represents the independent variable (what you change), while the vertical line, known as the y-axis, shows the dependent variable (what you measure). By plotting points where these two variables meet, we can visualize relationships, trends, and patterns in the data. This allows for easier comparisons and analyses, making it a valuable tool for presenting information in a clear and organized manner.
