Figure2-18Interpreting Graphs: The Effect of Scale Some of the same data for the years 1980 and 1984 used in Figure 2A-8 are represented here, except that here they are shown using increments of $500 rather than increments of $5000. As a result of this change in scale, changes in the standard of living look much larger in this figure compared to Figure 2A-8.
