What is the correlation coefficient with the
outlier?
rw =
What is the correlation coefficient without the
outlier?
rwo =
Would inclusion of the outlier change the evidence for or against a
significant linear correlation at 5% significance?
Would you always draw the same conclusion with the addition of an outlier?
Explain your answer.
