Jessie tracked her savings over time. The scatter plot shows the data. What is the savings amount for the outlier? $____ http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1549000_1549500/1549026/1/000733bcef2a6cd141061b05fe0a6153c39e670c/MS_IMC-141015-108159.jpg

@Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

Which point do you think is the outlier? The point that is lying out from the others?

Directrix (directrix):

Look at month 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

Directrix (directrix):

Correct. The savings amount for the outlier is $10.

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

Yo yo yo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just 10$?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

U good?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ello eminem

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

dats me

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the question: What is the savings amount for the outlier?

Directrix (directrix):

So, the answer is the amount saved.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

each 10$?

Directrix (directrix):

I only saw one outlier and it had a savings amount of $10.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100$?

Directrix (directrix):

$100 is the maximum amount she saved in any month.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 10$ the answer?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

lol

Directrix (directrix):

What is the savings amount for the outlier? That is the question we are to answer. I'm going with $10. You can go with $100 because this is your work.

Directrix (directrix):

An outlier point and a maximum point are not necessarily the same point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i accidentally pressed alt

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

an outlier is a data point that significantly differs from the other data points in a sample

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was gonna say i was gonna go with 10 cus i'm dumb at math and hate it XD

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

what math is this??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm math?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

like algebra??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

oh i dont remember learning about outliers and im in alg 2 :/ but thats what i found on google so I'm gonna say 10 too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

Directrix (directrix):

@Thatonegirl_ Would you post the Google link so that we could see it, too? Thanks.

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-Outliers

Directrix (directrix):

That is a good link. If there had been a scatter plot on the link, the number that was the outlier there would have shown up away from the other points as does the (1,10) point on this problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 3 more I'll make a new one and tag yall ok?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

sure. @Directrix r u good at probability?

Directrix (directrix):

Depends on the problem.
