Example: Box Plots Comparing MPG (City) for Cars

This example creates three box plots that compares how many miles per gallon (city) cars consume depending on their area of origin (Asia, Europe, and United States).
To create this example:
  1. In the Tasks section, expand the Graph folder, and then double-click Box Plot. The user interface for the Box Plot task opens.
  2. On the Data tab, select the SASHELP.CARS data set.
    Tip
    If the data set is not available from the drop-down list, click Select a table icon. In the Choose a Table window, expand the library that contains the data set that you want to use. Select the data set for the example and click OK. The selected data set should now appear in the drop-down list.
  3. Assign columns to these roles:
    Role
    Column Name
    Analysis variable
    MPG_City
    Category variable
    Origin
  4. To run the task, click Submit SAS Code.
Here is the resulting box plot:
