Explanation / Answer

a. The diagram 3 best represents the scatter diagram. Hence option C is correct

The correlation coefficient for these 4 points is 0.025( IN EXCEL)

b. The plot after adding the point(10.4,9.4) is plot A

The correlation coefficient for these 5 points is 0.863( IN EXCEL)

c. The addition point increases r considerably and hence strengthens the linear relationship between x and y

d. Scatter plots show the outliers present in the data and their effect on the correlation coefficient can be seen.
