Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Outlier Definition

An outlier is a data point that is significantly different from other data points. Visually, it lies far from the main cluster of points.

Step2: Compare the Two Scatter Plots

• Left Plot: Points are relatively clustered, with one point (the outlier) standing out from the main group, likely highlighted (e.g., different color or marker).
• Right Plot: The point that should be the outlier seems less distinct or not highlighted as per the visual check (the hand icon is on the axis, maybe indicating the left plot has the highlighted outlier). Wait, re - evaluating: The left plot has a point that is far from the general trend of the other points. In the left scatter plot, when we look at the vertical (y - axis) and horizontal (x - axis) positions, one point is isolated from the main cluster of points, which is the outlier. The right plot's points seem to have the outlier less prominently highlighted or maybe the left one is the correct one with the outlier highlighted.

The scatter plot on the Left
