A scatterplot shows the number of ice cream cones sold versus temperature. The horizontal axis shows temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, ranging from 25 to 90 in increments of 5, with an initial jump from 0 to 25. The vertical axis shows the number of ice cream cones sold, ranging from 0 to 60 in increments of 10. A kink is shown on the horizontal axis close to origin. A dot is plotted at 56 on the horizontal axis and 22 on the vertical axis. A loosely packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 71 to 81 on the horizontal axis and 26 to 46 on the vertical axis. A loosely packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 82 to 90 on the horizontal axis and 36 to 57 on the vertical axis.
The graph shows the number of ice cream cones sold during specific temperatures in the month of June. Is there an outlier? Use 1 for Yes and 2 for No.

Based on your description, it appears there is a noticeable dot plotted at 56 degrees Fahrenheit and 22 ice cream cones sold, which seems lower than the other clustered points around higher temperatures. Given that the other clusters of data points around the 71-81 range and the 82-90 range show higher sales numbers, this could signify an outlier.
Therefore, I would suggest the answer is 1 for Yes, there is an outlier.
