In a scatterplot, an outlier...

• ...is something we didn't learn in 8th grade

• ...is a point on the origin

• ...is a point that is far outside the main cluster of points/ordered pairs

• ...is a group of points that are close together

What type of correlation does this graph have?

• 19 chapters

• 14 chapters

• 21 chapters

If a scatterplot has no correlation then...
