The table below shows the gestation time in days and the average longevity in years for a variety of mammals in captivity; the potential life span of animals is rarely attained for animals in the wild.

a. Draw a scatterplot for the data.
b. Describe the form, direction, and strength for the pattern in the scatterplot.
c. Are there any outliers or other unusual data points in the set? If so, to which animals do these data points correspond?
d. Remove the outliers or unusual data points from the set, and reconstruct the scatterplot. Does it appear that a straight line is appropriate for describing the data?
