Question

An illustration of a scatterplot shows x on x-axis from 70 to 84 in increments of 2 and y on the y-axis from 44 to 49 in increments of 0.5. Nine points are plotted and a line is drawn connecting a few of the dots along the path of a linear line. The x-axis ranges in increments of 2 and the y-axis ranges in increments of 0.5. The approximate plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 70 comma 49 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 72 comma 48 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 73 comma 47.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 74 comma 47.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 76 comma 47 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 79 comma 46 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 80 comma 45.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 82 comma 45 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 84 comma 44 right parenthesis. The line connects data points on the numbers on y-axis of 49, 47.5, 45.5, and 44 forming a negative slope.

Are there any outliers in the data shown on the scatterplot? Choose 1 for yes and 2 for no.

(1 point)
Remaining Attempts : 3

Answer 1

Based on the description of the scatterplot, it appears that the points plotted all generally follow a linear trend with a negative slope. The points seem to cluster closely around the line connecting the described y-values (49, 47.5, 45.5, and 44). Without the actual visual representation of the scatterplot, it is difficult to definitively identify outliers, but based on the description, it seems that there are no distinct points that deviate significantly from the overall pattern of the other points.

Therefore, the answer is:

2 for no.
