The scatterplot shows the time that movers spent packing large boxes for a customer.

A graph titled Number of Packed Boxes has packing time (hours) on the x-axis and number of boxes on the y-axis. Points are grouped together and increase. Point (2, 10) is above the cluster.

Which statement about the scatterplot is true?
The point (2, 10) shows that there is no relationship between the packing time and the number of boxes.
Although (2, 10) is an extreme value, it should be part of the description of the relationship between packing time and number of boxes.
Including the point (2, 10) could cause the description of the data set to be understated.
Including the point (2, 10) could cause the description of the data set to be overstated.
