A scatterplot shows the number of hours studied versus test grade.
The horizontal axis shows the number of hours studied, ranging from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows the test grade, ranging from 0 to 100 in increments of 5, starting with a jump from 0 to 35. A kink is shown on the vertical axis close to origin. A dot is plotted at 0.5 on the horizontal axis and 45 on the vertical axis. A loosely packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 1 to 4.5 on the horizontal axis and 77 and 98 on the vertical axis.

Based on your description of the scatterplot, the data point at (0.5, 45) appears to be the outlier. This point is significantly lower in test grade compared to the other points that fall in the range of (1, 77) to (4.5, 98), which are much closer together and indicate higher grades. Therefore, the ordered pair that is the outlier is:
(0.5, 45).
