Given:

Correlation coefficient, r = 0.950

From the given scatterplot, let's determine the point which weakens the overall association between the distance and fare.

Using the scatterplot, we can see points B, C, and D can form a straight line.

Since the form a straight line, the association is strong.

They form a positive association.

Point A does not form a line with other data points.

Therefore, we can say point A weakens the overall association between the distance and the fare.

ANSWER:

Point A.
