Question

the scatterplot shows the time driven on a trip compared to the distance driven. inspect the scatterplot to determine if it has outliers. how many outliers does the data set have? the point is an outlier in the data set. (1,25) (1,75) (8,75) (8,250)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of an outlier

An outlier is a data point that is far from other data points.

Step2: Analyze the scatter - plot

Looking at the scatter - plot of time driven (x - axis) and distance driven (y - axis). For most of the data points, as the time (x) increases, the distance (y) also increases. The point \((8,75)\) is far from the general pattern of the other points. While other points at \(x = 8\) (or near \(x = 8\)) have \(y\) - values around \(250\), and for other \(x\) - values, the relationship between \(x\) and \(y\) is more in line with a positive trend.

Answer:

The data set has \(1\) outlier. The point \((8,75)\) is an outlier in the data set.
