Based on the description of the scatterplot, the outlier is likely the point (61, 95). This point falls significantly lower in weight compared to the other points plotted, which are more clustered within a range of weight values that are higher for similar heights. The other points around it are more densely packed between weights of 115 to 135 pounds for heights of 60 to 64 inches, making (61, 95) stand out as an outlier.
Use the image to answer the question.
A scatterplot shows height versus weight.
The horizontal axis shows height, in inches, ranging from 0 to 70 in increments of 5, starting with a jump from 0 to 50. The vertical axis shows the weight, in pounds, ranging from 0 to 160 in increments of 5, starting with a jump from 0 to 90. A kink is shown on both horizontal and vertical axis close to origin. A dot is plotted at 61 in the horizontal axis and 95 on the vertical axis, and also 60 on the horizontal axis and 154 on the vertical axis. A loosely packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 60 to 64 on the horizontal axis and 115 and 135 on the vertical axis.
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?
