Question

A math teacher gave a math test. Interpret the scatterplot to determine which point is the outlier. (1,78) (4.5, 97) (2.5, 87) (0.5,45)

Answer 1

A teacher took an anonymous survey in one class and then posted the students’ heights and weights on a scatterplot. What point is the outlier?

(1 point)

(61,95)

Answer 2

To determine which point is the outlier in the scatterplot, we need to observe any point that significantly deviates from the general trend of the other points.

Using the given coordinates:
(1,78)
(4.5, 97)
(2.5, 87)
(0.5,45)

By examining the values, we notice that (0.5, 45) seems to be significantly different from the other points, as all the other points have much higher y-values. Therefore, (0.5, 45) is the outlier in this scatterplot.
