Question

We often describe our emotional reaction to social rejection as “pain.” A clever study asked whether social rejection causes activity in areas of the brain that are known to be activated by physical pain. If it does, we really do experience social and physical pain in similar ways. Subjects were first included and then deliberately excluded from a social activity while changes in brain activity were measured. After each activity, the subjects filled out questionnaires that assessed how excluded they felt. Here are data for 13 subjects.

The explanatory variable is “social distress” measured by each subject’s questionnaire score after exclusion relative to the score after inclusion. (So values greater than 1 show the degree of distress caused by exclusion.) The response variable is change in activity in a region of the brain that is activated by physical pain.

Does social rejection hurt.
relationship between social distress and change in brain activity?
What can you conclude about the
O Social exclusion does appear to trigger a pain response: increased activity in the pain-
sensing area of the brain causes higher social distress.
O Social exclusion does appear to trigger a pain response: Higher social distress
measurements are associated with increased activity in the pain-sensing area of the
brain.
Social exclusion does not appear to trigger a pain response: social distress
measurements are not associated with activity in the pain-sensing area of the brain.
O Social exclusion does appear to trigger a pain response: Higher social distress
measurements are associated with decreased activity in the pain-sensing area of the
brain.

Introduction
scatter plot is tool for graphically presenting data. 
simple scatter plot uses the coordinate axes to depict the points according to their values.
The association between two variables can be determined using scatter plot. 
correlation is the name given to this relationship.
