Students were discussing and reflecting on their study time and grades on their first General Psychology Exam. On average, as study time increased so did their grades. However, there was one student who did not study and received a high grade that stood out from the data. This student's score is

In psychological terms, the similarity from the first score to the second score is ________________ whereas the predictability of the college performance is the test's ________________.
