Question

A group of 20 children were asked their age and how many pages they read in a week. The scatter plot shows the data.

What is the number of pages read for the outlier?



Scatter plot on a first quadrant coordinate grid. The horizontal axis is labeled Age, in years. The vertical axis is labeled Number of pages read. Points are plotted at (eight, thirty-two), (eight, thirty-four), (eight, thirty-six), (eight, thirty-eight), (nine, thirty-two), (nine, thirty-four), (nine, thirty-six), (nine, thirty-eight), (ten, thirty-four), (ten, thirty-six), (ten, thirty-eight), (eleven, forty-two), (twelve, forty-four), (thirteen, fifty), (thirteen, fifty-two), (fourteen, forty-six), (fifteen, fifty-four), (sixteen, fifty-eight), (seventeen, fifty-eight), (seventeen, seventy-two).

Answer 1

The outlier would be the one with (17, 72) coordinates. If interpreted, the child is 17 years old and the number of pages the child reads in a week is 72. He appeared the outlier because his data was too far from the pattern of data relative to the sample
