What is Scattergraph method?
The scattergraph (or scatter graph) method is a visual technique used in accounting for separating the fixed and variable elements of a semi-variable expense (also called a mixed cost) in order to estimate and budget for future costs.
How can the Scattergraph method be used to identify unusual data points?

If certain data points seem unusual (statistics books often call these points outliers), we can exclude them from the data set when drawing the best-fitting line.
