What is the correlation coefficient with the outlier?
rw =  [Round your answer to three decimal places.]


What is the correlation coefficient without the outlier?
rwo =  [Round your answer to three decimal places.]

Would inclusion of the outlier change the evidence for or against a 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?
