No Correlation Scatter Plot Example

This sample moves up and down without a consistent linear direction as X increases. The fitted line is nearly flat and Pearson r is close to zero, which is useful for illustrating little linear correlation.

How to structure the data

  • 01Use two numeric columns and preserve each X/Y pair on the same row.
  • 02Compare the point cloud with the trend line and Pearson r instead of relying on one visual cue alone.
  • 03A correlation near zero can still coexist with a curved or other nonlinear relationship, so inspect the shape of the data.

What this example shows

See a point cloud with little linear association and a Pearson r close to zero.

No linear correlation does not mean no relationship

Pearson r summarizes linear association. A value near zero can occur even when a strong curved or segmented relationship is present.
