Locate the point that seems to be all on its own away from the rest of the group.

OpenStudy (jokersmart):

72?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

See attached. The red line denotes where most of the points lie (more or less). The red line is the line of best fit or the regression line.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes 72 is correct because the y coordinate of that outlier point is y = 72

OpenStudy (jokersmart):

Oooh. Thank you so much you're really helpful. :)
