Scatter Plots Practice Test

A scientist recorded the concentration of a chemical solution (x, in mg/L) and the light absorbance (y, in arbitrary units) for 13 samples. The scatterplot includes a dashed line of best fit and one point that appears unusual. If the outlier point were removed, which change would most likely occur to the correlation between x and y?

A fitness coach recorded the number of minutes each of 12 clients exercised in a week and the number of calories each client burned during those workouts. The scatterplot shows minutes exercised (in minutes) on the x-axis and calories burned (in calories) on the y-axis, with a dashed line of best fit. Based on the scatterplot, which statement best describes the relationship between minutes exercised and calories burned?
