Two Descriptions Sitting Next to Each Other Have Not Compared Anything
You'll learnto write a comparison a reader can check: both groups in one sentence, a direction, values with units, every feature covered, and no absolute claim the overlap contradicts.
Fifteen teenagers and fifteen adults reported their daily screen time, and both boxplots go on one axis so that a glance down a column compares the same hour in both groups. The facts are then all there — middles at 5 hours and 3, boxes 4 hours and 3 wide, one adult flagged out at 11 — and writing them down in two tidy paragraphs earns nothing, because none of it compares anything. This animation measures the gap between the two middles, builds the single sentence that holds both groups at once, runs that same skeleton through shape, outliers, center and spread, and then presses on the two places it breaks: the word "every", which the overlapping ranges refuse, and a second sample whose boxplot is identical to the teens' while its distribution is nothing like it. Twelve short steps; press Next for each one.
