2.58 An interesting set of data. Make a scatterplot of the following data:
X | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 10 | 10 |
Y | 1 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 1 | 10 |
Verify that the correlation is about 0.5. What feature of the data is responsible for reducing the correlation to this value despite a strong straight-line association between x and y in most of the observations?
