Grading Tips Plotting: ±2 min margin of error for Y values. Association: Must use "Negative" or "Inverse". Reasoning: Must identify that the point is high in BOTH categories. Common Misconceptions Students may try to 'force' the outlier into the trend line, resulting in a line of best fit that is too shallow. Ensure they see the main cluster as separate from the anomaly.
