The variables in USStates include the percent of the people in each state who say they have engaged in any physical activity in the last month as well as the region of the country in which the state is found (Midwest, Northeast, South, or West). One of these variables is quantitative and one is categorical, and Figure 2.41 allows us to visualize the relationship between the two variables.

Figure 2.41

(b) Which region appears to have the biggest range?
(c) Are there any outliers?
(d) Does there appear to be an association between amount of physical activity and region of the country?
