Question

the two scatter plots below show the same data set. choose the scatter plot in which the outlier is highlighted.

Explanation:

An outlier is a data point that lies far outside the cluster of most other data points. In the left plot, the blue point at (0, 20) is isolated from the main group of points (which have x-values mostly 0-50 with y-values 50-90, and another cluster at x 70-90 with y 15-25). In the right plot, the highlighted point is within the lower x/y cluster, so it is not the outlier.

Answer:

The left scatter plot (with the blue point at (0, 20) highlighted) is the correct one.
