The distribution is somewhat skewed toward large values, the two largest of which may be candidates for outliers. b. No, because observations with identical x values have different y values. c. No, because the points don’t appear to fall at all close to a line or simple curve. 3. Yes. Yes.

5. b.

Yes. c. There appears to be an approximate quadratic relation- ship points fall close to a parabola.
