The scatterplot shows the time that some students spent studying and the number of spelling mistakes on an essay test.

A graph titled Student mistakes has Studying Time (hours) on the x-axis and number of spelling mistakes on the y-axis. Points are grouped together and decrease. Point (8, 17) is above the cluster.

Which statement about the scatterplot is true?
The point (8, 17) can cause the description of the data set to be overstated.
Although (8, 17) is an extreme value, it should be part of the description of the relationship between studying time and the number of spelling mistakes.
Including the point (8, 17) can cause the description of the data set to be understated.
The point (8, 17) shows that there is no relationship between the studying time and the number of spelling mistakes.
