Answer
To identify the most likely flight that has been discounted:
Examine the plotted points on the scatter diagram. The flight that appears significantly lower in cost than others at a similar duration level is most likely the one discounted. Based on the plot, circulate the flight at approximately (100, 80) since it stands out as a lower cost for its duration.
