Cost-to-charge ratios (the percentage of the amount billed that represents the actual cost) for 11 Oregon hospitals of similar size were reported separately for inpatient and outpatient services. The...

No. There is a moderate linear relationship between inpatient and outpatient cost-to-charge ratios and all the points follow that trend.Yes. There are one or more outliers present which alter how well a linear relationship describes the relationship between inpatient and outpatient cost-to-charge ratios.    Yes. There is no noticeable relationship between inpatient and outpatient cost-to-charge ratios and the points are randomly scattered throughout the graph.Yes. There is a noticeable nonlinear relationship between inpatient and outpatient cost-to-charge ratios with the graph suggesting a reciprocal transformation might be appropriate.Yes. There is a noticeable nonlinear relationship between inpatient and outpatient cost-to-charge ratios with the graph suggesting a square root transformation might be appropriate.

This point is an outlier and if it were removed, the linear relationship would be stronger, and the value ofr would therefore be greater.This point is not an outlier and if it were removed, the nonlinear relationship would be relatively unchanged and the value ofr would therefore be approximately the same.    This point is an outlier and if it were removed, the nonlinear relationship would be stronger, and the value ofr would therefore be greater.This point is an outlier and if it were removed, the linear relationship would be weaker, and the value ofr would therefore be smaller.This point is not an outlier and if it were removed, the linear relationship would be relatively unchanged and the value ofr would therefore be approximately the same.
