A data analyst needs to create a data visualization that aids in the cumulative impact of sequentially introduced values that are positive or negative. Which of the following data visualization…

A bubble chart is used to display three dimensions of data (x, y, size) and is not primarily designed for showing cumulative impact over a sequence.

A waterfall chart is specifically designed to show how an initial value is affected by a series of intermediate positive and negative values, leading to a final total, which perfectly illustrates cumulative impact.

A scatter plot can illustrate the cumulative impact by plotting the sequential order of values on the X-axis and the running total (cumulative sum) on the Y-axis. This visualization helps an analyst observe the trend and magnitude of the cumulative impact as each positive or negative value is introduced sequentially.

A line chart is typically used to show trends over a continuous range, often time, and while it could show a cumulative trend, a scatter plot provides discrete points of cumulative impact.
