The coefficient of determination r squared would decrease. So let's be very careful. r was already negative. If we decrease it, it's going to become more negative. If you square something that is more negative, it's not going to become smaller. Let's say before you remove the data point, r was, I'm just gonna make up a value, let's say it was negative 0.4, and then after removing the outlier, r becomes more negative, and it's going to be equal to negative 0.5. Well, if you square this, this would be positive 0.16, while this would be positive 0.25.
