The video tutorial introduces scatter plots as a tool for visualizing data trends. It covers examples such as tree heights measured by a park ranger, restaurant numbers in Kansas towns, and video game sales. The tutorial emphasizes using a line of best fit for making future estimates based on data trends.

What do scatterplots help us to understand?

• Data without any patterns

• Historical data without trends

• Exact values only

• Trends in data
