The scatter plot provided displays a group of students' test scores versus the length of time the students spent studying for a test. Based on plot, select the answer choice with the data point that if added to the graph, would be an outlier.

To answer this question correctly, we need to recall what "outlier" means. An outlier is a value that is much smaller or larger than the rest of the values in a set of data. Also, a data point that does not follow the same pattern as the rest of the set could be described as an outlier.
Let's look at our answer choices:
This point is showing that a student who studied for 
hours received a 
on the test. If we look at our graph, we can see that the two students that spent 
hours studying received scores of 
and 
. A score of 
fits in with that data; thus, 
is not an outlier.
