Apologies, this is probably the simplest question. I'm having trouble making a scatterplot in R Studio. I am trying to see if amphipod counts are correlated to oxygen content. Whenever I plot this using: 

    plot(Amphipod~Oxygen...ml.l.)

I get a graph with boxes around certain points and I have no idea why. Only 5 points and I can't see anything different about those.

  • Please provide a [reproducible example](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example). It's hard to help if we can't see what you're looking at exactly. – MrFlick Mar 09 '16 at 03:17

  • It looks like your x-axis variable is actually a factor. You are plotting a box and whisker plot, not a true scatter plot. Double check your data types and try again. – MrFlick Mar 09 '16 at 03:26
  • Thanks! Turned out I had one value that was a word – Mia Mar 09 '16 at 03:33
