COMPLETE QUESTION:

Caitlyn recorded the height of each plant after she exposed each plant to a set amount of darkness daily. The scatterplot shows her results after 2 weeks of exposing each plant to the amount of darkness.

(Graph Below)

Which statement about the scatterplot is true?

A. The point (17, 12) could cause the description of the data set to be overstated.

B. The point (17, 12) could cause the description of the data set to be understated.

C. The point (17, 12) shows that there is no relationship between the number of hours of darkness and the height of the plant.

D. Although (17, 12) is an extreme value, it should be part of the description of the relationship between number of hours of darkness and the height of the plant.

B. The point (17, 12) could cause the description of the data set to be understated.

Step-by-step explanation:

All other points on the scatter plot except point (17, 12), all follow a similar trend showing the negative relation between height of plants and darkness. If we are to consider just point (17, 12) alone when describing the data set, we might likely understate the relation between both variables.

Therefore, the statement that is true about the scatter plot is "B. The point (17, 12) could cause the description of the data set to be understated."
