The best choice is A) Blake should not include the outlier because it overstates the effect of rainfall on temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:

Blake should not include the outlier because it overstates the effect of rainfall on temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outlier has a temperature much higher than the other points in the graph.  Since it is very different from the others, it is an outlier.  Since it has a higher temperature than the others, this means it overstates the effect of rainfall on temperature.
