2.71

(a) There seems to be a weak positive linear relationship between and , but with one extreme outlier with a very high value. (b) . (d) (e) Although the variable accounts for 77.15% of the variation in , there is a very high outlier for , which pulls the regression line unnaturally. This is seen in the jump of the -square value from 27% up to 77%, indicating that this observation is very influential in the analysis. This is also demonstrated by the systematic pattern in both the scatterplot and the residual plot, with most of the data points forming a line except for the outlier.
