1. The scatter plot provided displays a group of students' test scores versus the length of time the students spent studying for a test. Based on plot, select the answer choice with the data point that if added to the graph, would be an outlier. 1 (2,50) (2,52) (1,47) (5,10)

Do you know what an outlier is?

elpapitocay:

no im dumb

snowflake0531:

._. That's not an excuse. But anyways, an outlier is something that is out of what it supposed to be The scatterplot should approximately show a linear line. So, which one of the points seems not too in the line.

elpapitocay:

oh?

elpapitocay:

now?

elpapitocay:

how do i find le answer?

snowflake0531:

Did you read what i wrote?

elpapitocay:

yes

snowflake0531:

Then you should know which coordinate point it is

(5,10) Explanation: To answer this question correctly, we need to recall what "outlier" means. An outlier is a value that is much smaller or larger than the rest of the values in a set of data. Also, a data point that does not follow the same pattern as the rest of the set could be described as an outlier. Let's look at our answer choices: (2,50) This point is showing that a student who studied for 2 hours received a 50% on the test. If we look at our graph, we can see that the two students that spent 2 hours studying received scores of 45% and 55%. A score of 50% fits in with that data; thus, (2,50) is not an outlier. (1,47) This point is showing that a student who studied for 1 hour received a 47% on the test. If we look at our graph, we can see that the two students that spent 1 hour studying received scores of 45% and 50%. A score of 47% fits in with that data; thus, (1,47) is not an outlier. (2,52) This point is showing that a student who studied for 2 hours received a 52% on the test. If we look at our graph, we can see that the two students that spent 2 hours studying received scores of 45% and 55%. A score of 50% fits in with that data; thus, (2,52) is not an outlier. (5,10) This point is showing that a student who studied for 5 hours received a 10% on the test. If we look at our graph, we can see that the student who spent 5 hours studying received a score of 90%. Also, if we look at the student who studied for 4 hours, that student received an 80%. Based on this results, (5,10) would be an outlier.
