Question
Use the image to answer the question.

A scatterplot shows the number of hours studied versus test grade.
The horizontal axis shows the number of hours studied, ranging from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows the test grade, ranging from 0 to 100 in increments of 5, starting with a jump from 0 to 35. A kink is shown on the vertical axis close to origin. A dot is plotted at 0.5 on the horizontal axis and 45 on the vertical axis. A loosely packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 1 to 4.5 on the horizontal axis and 77 and 98 on the vertical axis.

A math teacher gave a math test. Interpret the scatterplot to determine which point is the outlier.

Question
Use the image to answer the question.

A scatterplot shows height versus weight.
The horizontal axis shows height, in inches, ranging from 0 to 70 in increments of 5, starting with a jump from 0 to 50. The vertical axis shows the weight, in pounds, ranging from 0 to 160 in increments of 5, starting with a jump from 0 to 90. A kink is shown on both horizontal and vertical axis close to origin. A dot is plotted at 61 in the horizontal axis and 95 on the vertical axis, and also 60 on the horizontal axis and 154 on the vertical axis. A loosely packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 60 to 64 on the horizontal axis and 115 and 135 on the vertical axis.

A teacher took an anonymous survey in one class and then posted the students’ heights and weights on a scatterplot. What point is the outlier?
