What is the correlation coefficient with the outlier?
rw = 

What is the correlation coefficient without the outlier?
rwo = 

Would inclusion of the outlier change the evidence for or against a significant linear correlation?
  • Yes. Including the outlier changes the evidence regarding a linear correlation.
  • No. Including the outlier does not change the evidence regarding a linear correlation.


Question for thought: Would you always draw the same conclusion with the addition of an outlier?
