The question is not complete, so i have attached it.
Answer:
Option A - The data may not be reliable because there is an outlier.
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the question attached and the number of the gorrila vis - a - vis the time to interact, we can see that majority of the time to interact falls between 2.5 and 3.4.
However, we have a time of 8.3 days which is for gorrila 3.
This 8.3 is far higher than the range of the other values. Thus, we have an outlier because an outlier is a value is much more smaller or larger than most of the other values in a set of given data.
Thus, the data may not be reliable because there is an outlier.
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis.
According to the data of the statement we have the following points:
We found the slope:
Thus, the equation is of the form:
We substitute one of the points and find b:
Finally, the equation is:
