There's a pretty clear correlation between the histograms and the scatterplots, too, if you look.

If you gave someone those 3 histograms and those 3 scatterplots, I bet they could match them up correctly.

Aside- The scatterplots are an awful user interface because of the cognitive effort to interpret them, but perhaps there's a way to present the same information in a usable way.

Please show me any diagram that does not require cognitive effort to interpret.
