What is the correlation coefficient with the outlier?
rw =
What is the correlation coefficient without the outlier?
rwo =
Would inclusion of the outlier change the evidence for or against a significant linear correlation?
Question for thought: Would you always draw the same conclusion with the addition of an outlier?
