Part (f)

Graph the best fit line on your scatterplot. (Upload your file below.)

 

Part (i)

The outlier is a hybrid car that runs on gasoline and electric technology, but all other vehicles in the sample have engines that use gasoline only. Explain why it would be appropriate to remove the outlier from the data in this situation.
The outlier is creating a curved least squares regression line.The outlier lies directly on the line, so the error residual 
(y − ŷ)
 is zero.    The outlier represents a different population of vehicles compared to the rest.The outlier does not lie directly on the line, but it is close.

correlation coefficient         
coefficient of determination         

Find the new best fit line. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
