Given the following values which point would be considered an outline?

X: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9
Y: .8 | 2.1| 3.1 | 3.8 | 5.2 | 8.4 | 6.9 | 8.1 | 9

A: (2,2.1)
B: (4, 3.8 )
C: (6, 8.4 )
D: (9,9)

I think it would D.

I am right ?

I don't think so.

Let's take the average slope. Or, if you're not up for that, let's graph the points.

I drew the line of best fit for you. By definition, an outlier is "a value that "lies outside" (is much smaller or larger than) most of the other values in a set of data."

So, what point doesn't belong here? What point "lies outside"(is much smaller or larger than) most of the other values in this data set?

Ooh ok...I see. Than it would C? Because I'm thinking that 6 isn't close to 8.4.

Correct!

Yay :D thank you

To determine which point would be considered an outline, we need to examine the values of the given points and look for any extreme or unusual values compared to the rest of the data set. In this case, it would be the point that deviates the most from the other points.

Using the given data points:

A: (2, 2.1)
B: (4, 3.8)
C: (6, 8.4)
D: (9, 9)

We can see that point C (6, 8.4) has the largest y-value (8.4) among all the given points. This point stands out as an outlier when compared to the other points because it is significantly higher than the neighboring points at (5, 5.2) and (7, 6.9). Therefore, the correct answer is C: (6, 8.4).

So, your initial guess was incorrect. The outline point is C: (6, 8.4).
