My own version of the Anscombe's quartet :-)

Olszewski's vs. Anscombe's quartet

You probably heard about the Anscombe's quartet. It's almost a textbook justification for looking at the data first and not trusting solely descriptive statistics!

I decided to make my own, Olszewski's quartet! It shows 4 faces in different moods. The mean and variance of the Y coordinate is exactly (NOT approximately!) the same for all 4 faces. Also, the Pearson's correlation is almost 0.

How did I make it?
