Our brains don't like losses. Most people dislike
losses more than they like gains. In money terms, peo-
ple are about as sensitive to a loss of $10 as to a gain of
$20. To discover what parts of the brain are active in
decisions about gain and loss, psychologists presented
subjects with a series of gambles with different odds
and different amounts of winnings and losses. From a
subject's choices, they constructed a measure of
"behavioral loss aversion." Higher scores show greater
sensitivity to losses. Observing brain activity while
subjects made their decisions pointed to specific brain
regions. Here are data for 16 subjects on behavioral

(a) Make a scatterplot that shows how behavior
responds to brain activity.
(b) Describe the overall pattern of the data. There is
one clear outlier. What is the behavioral score
associated with this outlier?
(c) Find the correlation r between neural and behav-
ioral loss aversion both with and without the out-
lier. Does the outlier have a strong influence on the
value of r? By looking at your plot, explain why add-
ing the outlier to the other data points causes r to
increase.
Poverty and life expectancy. Do poorer people tend to
have shorter lives than richer people? Two researchers
