Movie Runtime Length by Genre

This graphic shows boxplots for each genre of films for both films that won awards and films that did not. In a boxplot, the centerline is the median, the notches show the 95% confidence interval for the true median, the edges of the box show the 25th and 75th percentiles, the length of the box is the interquartile range, the whiskers show the region of data that is not an outlier, and the dots are the outliers. From this plot we can see that award-winning films tend to be longer than other films within a subject.
