Data points are located at 1 and 1, 1 and 5, 2 and 10, 2 and 15, 3 and 15, 3 and 25, 4 and 40, 5 and 40, 5 and 50, 6 and 55, 6 and 70, 8 and 90, 3 and 70. A circle labeled T includes all points except for 3 and 70. Point 3 and 70 is circled and labeled as R. Part A: What is the group of points labeled T called? What is the point labeled R called? Give a possible reason for the presence of point R. (3 points) Part B: Describe the association between the number of hours practiced each week and the number of pieces a piano student can play. (2 points)

Answer 1

The group labeled T is called a cluster. The point labeled R is called an outlier. Point R is more out because there were a lot of students that were only practicing for three hours.

Part B:
