The outlier would be the one with (17, 72) coordinates. If interpreted, the child is 17 years old and the number of pages the child reads in a week is 72. He appeared the outlier because his data was too far from the pattern of data relative to the sample.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratios can be written as:
a to b
a:b
a/b
We want to find boys to girls, and there are 24 boys and 12 girls. So, we can write it as
24 to 12
24:12
24:2
All of these can be reduced, since both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 12.
Numerator: 24/12=2
Denominator: 12/12=1
2 to 1
2:1
2/1
