Outliers should be excluded when producing a trend line, regardless of the method used. The student got a score of 100 with no sleep. This data pair was a rare event. If the outlier was included, it would cause the trend line to misrepresent the typical data relationship.

Answer:

sample response:  Before entering data into the regression calculator, or in any method for producing trend lines, outliers should be excluded. The data indicates that a student had a score of 100 with no sleep the night before. This is surely a rare event and would skew the trend line so it would not describe the typical data relationship.
