Summarize the effect different kinds of outliers can have on a data set in terms of how we interpret whether we have a good model or not.
The following scatterplot gives the price of a hot dog
against the price of beer (per ounce) at 24 major-
league ballparks in 2015.

Price of beer, per ounce (dollars)
There is one low outlier in the plot. The price of beer
(per ounce) and price of a hot dog for this ballpark
are
unable to be determined from the information
given.
price of beer (per ounce) = $0.44, price of a hot dog
= $1.25.
price of beer (per ounce) = $0.28, price of a hot dog
= $4.50.
price of beer (per ounce) = $0.65, price of a hot dog
= $5.25.

- The data represent the cost, return on investment, and graduation rate for a random sample of fifty colleges or universities in the United States. The data is from payscale.com. The variable "Cost" represents the four-year cost including tuition, supplies, room and board of attending the school. The variable "Annual ROI" represents the return on investment for graduates of the school. It essentially represents how much you would earn on the investment of attending the school. The variable "Grad Rate" represents the graduation rate of the school. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Click here to view the school data. Click here to view the table of critical values of the correlation coefficient. (a) Describe the association between Cost and Graduation Rate graphically by drawing a scatter diagram, treating Cost as the explanatory variable. Describe the association between Cost and Graduation Rate by finding the linear correlation between the two variables.
