Macaws are tropical birds that can live a very long time. The box plots below show the life spans (in years) of a random sample of Macaws that lived in captivity and a random sample that lived in the wild.
2 horizontal boxplots titled Captivity and Wild are graphed on the same horizontal axis, labeled Life Span, in years. The boxplot, titled Captivity, has a left whisker which extends from 66 to 73. The box extends from 73 to 80 and is divided into 2 parts by a vertical line segment at 77. The right whisker extends from 80 to 84. The second boxplot, titled Wild, has a left whisker which extends from 32 to 48. The box extends from 48 to 62 and is divided into 2 parts by a vertical line segment at 54. The right whisker extends from 62 to 77. All values estimated.
