To solve the problem involving the correlation coefficient both with and without the outlier in the given bivariate data set, I'll walk you through the necessary steps. First, we will calculate the correlation coefficients.

### 1. Correlation Coefficient with Outlier

To calculate the correlation coefficient \(r_w\) (with the outlier):

The formula for the Pearson correlation coefficient is:

\[
r = \frac{n(\sum xy) - (\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2]}}
\]

Where:
- \( x \) and \( y \) are your data points for each variable.
- \( n \) is the number of data points.

### 2. Correlation Coefficient without Outlier

To calculate \( r_{wo} \), remove the point \( (74.6, -6536) \) which seems to be the outlier, then repeat the correlation coefficient calculation.

### Steps for Calculation:
- Sum up all \(x\), \(y\), \(xy\), \(x^2\), and \(y^2\).
- Use the Pearson correlation formula for both cases (with and without outlier).

I will calculate this next.

Once the correlation coefficients are found, you'll be able to compare them and decide if the outlier significantly affects the linear correlation.

Relative questions:
1. What is the effect of an outlier on a correlation coefficient in general?
2. How does removing a large negative outlier impact correlation?
3. Can linear regression still be accurate with outliers?
4. What methods are used to detect outliers in datasets?
5. How does the interpretation of correlation change with small sample sizes?

**Tip:** Outliers can drastically skew correlation values, so it's important to check for them when interpreting data relationships.

What is the correlation coefficient with and without the outlier in a given bivariate dataset, and does the outlier change the evidence regarding linear correlation?

Calculate the correlation coefficient with and without the outlier in a bivariate dataset. Understand the effect of outliers on the linear correlation, using the Pearson correlation coefficient formula. Suitable for high school students in Grades 10-12.
