The dataset HollywoodMovies2011 includes a quantitative variable on the Budget of the movie, in millions of dollars, as well as a categorical variable classifying each movie by its Genre. Figure 2.40 shows side-by-side boxplots investigating a relationship between these two variables. (We use four of the possible categories in Genre for this exercise.)
