Task 1: NHL Career Points Leader This scatterplot shows the relationship between NHL players’ career goals and career assists. Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux are highlighted to emphasize how they stand out relative to other players in overall point production.

The chart helps identify players with high scoring production, high scoring efficiency, and lower overall performance in a clear and intuitive way. Comparison of Task 1 and Task 2 Visualizations The scatterplot in Task 1 is most effective for exploring the data. It shows the relationship between two player statistics using one point per player, which makes it easy to see the overall patter...
