The figure shows a single line graph with the vertical axis labeled “E D R S” and the horizontal axis labeled “T Q C Y”. Centered above the plot are two lines of text: F open parenthesis 1,953 close parenthesis equals 6.78, p equals less than 0.01. The second line states that: “Vertical bars denote 0.95 confidence intervals”. The vertical axis ranges from 8 to 17 in increments of 1 unit. The horizontal axis has three positions, labeled from left to right as follows: 0.32 open parenthesis mean minus single asterisk s d close parenthesis; 1.32 open parenthesis mean close parenthesis; and 2.32 open parenthesis mean plus single asterisk s d close parenthesis. A legend titled “King Roman numeral 4” is positioned on the bottom left, indicating that the graph plots two lines. The line with circular data markers labeled “0” and the line with square data markers is labeled “1”. The data markers for the line labeled “0” lie in the following manner: At the leftmost x-axis position, “0.32 open parenthesis mean minus single asterisk s d close parenthesis”, the point is positioned near E D R S 11.5 with vertical confidence bars. At the middle x-axis position, “1.32 open parenthesis mean close parenthesis”, the point is near E D R S 12.12 with confidence bars. At the rightmost x-axis position, “2.32 open parenthesis mean plus single asterisk s d close parenthesis”, the point increases to around E D R S 12.96 with confidence bars. The data markers for the line labeled “1” lie in the following manner: At the leftmost x-axis position, “0.32 open parenthesis mean minus single asterisk s d close parenthesis”, the point is positioned near E D R S 10.31 with vertical confidence bars. At the middle x-axis position, “1.32 open parenthesis mean close parenthesis”, the point is near E D R S 12.32 with confidence bars. At the rightmost x-axis position, “2.32 open parenthesis mean plus single asterisk s d close parenthesis”, the point increases to around E D R S 14.22.
