Answer 7

@adbgone: A key goal of OpenStudy is that we help others learn how to do their own problems. We do NOT do others' work for them, let alone give out answers without the involvement of the learner. And we do NOT ask for medals. Medals come from having done good work. We don't even know, yet, if your "b" is correct.

Answer 8

@animefreakdesu: Here's a hint: You might want to graph all nine data points quickly. You could probably do that in 1-2 minutes. When finished, you'll probably see that all data points, save one, are "close" to a straight line through the points. Willing to try this?

Answer 9

well look at the problem. ok so each one is close to the original number, except for (3,4.3) so thats the outliar.

Answer 10

Right. Help AFD with the graphing IF he/she wants help with that.

Answer 11

As I've suggested, we are to plot all 9 data points and then draw a straight line through all of them, except any that seems to be "far" from the line.

Answer 12

okay
