Question

a health organization collects data on hospitals in a large metropolitan area. the scatterplot shows the relationship between two variables the organization collected: the number of beds each hospital has available and the average number of days a patient stays in the hospital (mean length of stay). which hospital represented in the scatterplot would be considered a high leverage point? the hospital with 35 beds the hospital with 140 beds the hospital with 200 beds the hospital with 310 beds

Explanation:

A high - leverage point is a data point whose \(x\) - value (in this case, the number of beds) is far from the mean of the \(x\) - values. Among the given options, the hospital with 310 beds has an \(x\) - value (number of beds) that is furthest from the cluster of other \(x\) - values (most of the data points seem to be in the lower range of bed numbers).

Answer:

the hospital with 310 beds
