A scatterplot shows seven clustered points and one isolated, circled point at high x.
The circled point is most accurately called:
- Acheck_circle
A high-leverage influential point
- B
An outlier with a large residual
- C
Irrelevant to the regression
- D
A typical observation
Explanation
A point with extreme x-value can substantially affect the slope; that defines a high-leverage influential point.
