The graph shown is a scatter plot:
A scatter plot is shown with the values on the x-axis in increasing units of 1 and the y-axis in increasing units of 10. The data moves in an upward cluster. Point A has coordinates 8 and 70. Point B has coordinates 1 and 20, point C has coordinates 3 and 40, point D has coordinates 7 and 30. Additional points are located at 2 and 10, 2 and 20, 3 and 30, 5 and 50, 5 and 40, 7 and 70, 7 and 60.
Which point on the scatter plot is an outlier? (4 points)
Point A
Point B
Point C
Point D

To identify an outlier in a scatter plot, we need to look for a point that deviates significantly from the general pattern or trend of the other points. In this case, we can observe that the data points generally form an upward cluster, indicating a positive correlation between the x-values and y-values.
Let's analyze each point:
Point A (8, 70): Falls within the general upward cluster, reasonably aligned with the trend.
Point B (1, 20): Deviates from the general pattern and is relatively distant from the cluster. This point could potentially be an outlier.
Point C (3, 40): Falls within the general upward cluster, reasonably aligned with the trend.
Point D (7, 30): Falls within the general upward cluster, reasonably aligned with the trend.
Additional points: Without concrete information on these points' labels, we cannot determine their significance for the analysis.
Based on the information provided, it appears that Point B (1, 20) is the outlier as it deviates from the general pattern of the other points in the scatter plot.
