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?

Based on the description of the scatterplot, the point that would be considered an outlier is the one that is significantly different from the other plots.

The points given are:

  1. (63, 122)
  2. (64, 125)
  3. (61, 95)
  4. (60, 123)

From the described clusters, it appears that the point (61, 95) is positioned lower in terms of weight compared to the cluster that is roughly between heights of 60 to 64 inches and weights of 115 to 135 pounds. Therefore, (61, 95) would be seen as an outlier.

So, the answer is:

(61, 95)
