like this?

poopsiedoodle · Answer

Yes, that would work. The Outliers are the ones that are away from most of the other points, and the clusters are the ones that are grouped together.

marigirl · Answer

its sort of difficult to say if there outliers or clusters cuz we dont have many data points.. that could be one of your arguments.

anonymous · Answer

Okay so would I name these points distance number first or points number first ?

marigirl · Answer

I am sorry i couldnt understand what you meant

anonymous · Answer

If I was naming a point from this graph .. would I name it 9,2  or 2,9  with 9 being the total points earned and 2 being the distance

anonymous · Answer

so basically if i was naming this point

marigirl · Answer

(2,9)

marigirl · Answer

or a distance of 2 gaining 9 points.. either one is acceptable
