I hope you're sincerely interested, because I am going to answer like you are :)
Each bracket has no relation to the next one. Drawing a line implies that there is a functional relationship between family income and SAT score. There IS a trend, but this is not the proper way to imply a trend. This implies something else at hand, like an equation or something.
I know I am not phrasing this well.
But even a bar graph would make the data look better.
Another thing to note: look at the axes! The y-axis starts at 400 and ends at 600. The altered axis makes the data seem more extreme. 200 points difference IS a large difference in SAT scores, but the way they represented it made it seem even larger.
If you are genuinely interested, there is an amazing book called "How to Lie With Statistics", which you can buy on Amazon that teaches you about all the naughty things that people do to manipulate their graphs to look better! Or you can download this powerpoint which goes over how to display data badly, haha!
Only if this one lasts you 6 years. Ha! The damn things go obsolete so quickly these days. Tho wants to be caught with a curved 105" UHD 120Hz 3D LED Smart TV from 2008 now?
