Answer 1

-There is an outlier at (4.5,15).

-The point (2,60) is an outlier, because it is far away from the rest of the points.

Explanation:

An outlier is a data point that is far away from the rest of the data. An outlier does not necessarily represent the extremes in a set of data, as long as it is close to the other points. So, based on the scatter plot, there are two outliers at (2,60) and (4.5,15).

The following statements are true.

There is an outlier at (4.5,15).

The point (2,60) is an outlier because it is far away from the rest of the points.
