    • Scatterplots were introduced in Chapter 1 as a graphical technique to present two numerical variables simultaneously.
    • Figure 7.4 shows a scatterplot for the head length and total length of 104 brushtail possums from Australia.
    • Straight lines should only be used when the data appear to have a linear relationship, such as the case shown in the left panel of Figure 7.6.
    • We only consider models based on straight lines in this chapter.
    • If data show a nonlinear trend, like that in the right panel of Figure 7.6, more advanced techniques should be used.
