AP Statistics Unit 2: LSRL, Outliers, and Two-Variable Data Review

General Effects of Outliers on Correlation

• The Impact of Any Outlier: According to the instructional summary, adding any outlier to a dataset results in a decrease in correlation ($r$).

Outliers Added Far Away from the Mean of Y (Horizontal Line)

• Conceptual Positioning: This scenario describes outliers placed far away from the horizontal line representing the mean of the dependent variable ($Y$).

• Impact on Least Squares Regression Line (LSRL) Slope: When outliers are added in this manner, the slope of the regression line will DECREASE.

• Impact on Least Squares Regression Line (LSRL) Y-intercept: The addition of these horizontal outliers causes the y-intercept of the regression line to INCREASE.

Outliers Added Relative to the Mean of X (Vertical Line)

• Outliers Added ABOVE the Mean of X:     * Conceptual Positioning: These outliers are positioned according to the vertical line representing the mean of the independent variable ($X$).     * Impact on Slope: The slope of the regression line remains the SAME.     * Impact on Y-intercept: The y-intercept of the regression line will DECREASE.

• Outliers Added BELOW the Mean of X:     * Conceptual Positioning: The transcript identifies this category as specific positioning below the vertical line representing the Mean of $X$, though specific statistical directional changes for slope and intercept were not detailed before the transition to the next topic.
