Dr. Oswald created a scatterplot of the relationship between the experience of daily stress and life satisfaction. In doing so, she realizes there are three scores that seem to be very extreme and are nowhere near the other points on the scatterplot. Specifically, it appears that three people report very high levels of daily stress and very low levels of life satisfaction. Dr. Oswald should probably consider these scores ________.

1. Outliers
2. Moderators
3. Random
4. Curvilinear scores

Respuesta :

Answer:

Outliers

Explanation:

Outliers are data that differ dramatically from all others, they are points outside the curve. In other words, an outlier is a value beyond normality that can (and probably will) cause anomalies in the results obtained through algorithms and analysis systems.

In Dr. Oswald's experiment, he noticed that some individuals had very extreme scores far away from other points on the scatter plot. Because this data differs dramatically from others, we may call it outliers.
