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 deviates significantly from the overall pattern of the dataset. In the first plot, the dark point at (x≈80, y≈57) is far from the upward trend of other points (where higher x correlates with higher y). In the second plot, the dark point follows the general data trend, while the light point at (x≈80, y≈58) is the outlier but not highlighted.

Answer:

The left (first) scatter plot, where the dark point at x≈80, y≈57 is highlighted as the outlier.
