A scatter plot is shown. The x-axis is labeled Hours spent on social media, and the y-axis is labeled test score. Data points are located at 0.5 and 100, 2 and 100, 1 and 95, 3 and 85, 3 and 78, 5 and 75, 5 and 72, 6 and 70, 6 and 98, 7 and 60. A circle labeled A includes all of the points except for the one at 6 and 98. Point 6 and 98 is labled B.
Part A: What is the group of points labeled A called? What is the point labeled B called? Give a possible reason for the presence of point B. (3 points)
Part B: Describe the association between a student's test scores and the number of hours spent on social media. (2 points)
