Boxplot Data and Displays: Apply It 3

  • Read information from a boxplot and make conclusions
  • Compare boxplots
 

Two boxplots are provided below, each displaying a hypothetical distribution of [latex]5,000[/latex] tax cuts that would result in a mean tax cut of [latex]$1,260[/latex].

Two boxplots, labeled A and B, showing a hypothetical distribution of 5,000 tax cuts, resulting in a mean tax cut of $1,260.
Figure 1. These two boxplots show different distributions of household tax cuts that have the same average, but the spread and shape of the data are very different.
