Answer: Point B

Explanation:

  • An outlier is a data point that appears from a different model than do the rest of the data.

When we look in the given scatter plot , we can see that a large number of points are grouped together . Only Point B is farthest point on the scatter plot as compared with all the other points on the scatter plot.

The data here appear to come from a linear model except for the outlier point B which looks to have been created from some other model.
