To determine the outlier on the scatterplot, you need to identify the point that deviates significantly from the overall pattern or trend of the data.
In this case, you have the students' heights and weights as data points. Consider the overall distribution of the data and look for any points that appear to be far away from the majority of the other points.
Given the options you provided:
(63,122)
(64,125)
(60,123)
(61,95)
To identify the outlier, you can compare the values of each point to the others. In this case, you can compare the height and weight values individually.
Looking at the height values, none of the options stand out as significantly different from the others.
However, when examining the weight values, (61,95) stands out as an outlier because it has a much lower weight compared to the other points.
Therefore, the outlier point in this scatterplot is (61,95).
