Thank you for all your comments. A jittering of data points along the x-axis was used to avoid over-plotting. But yes, a scatter plot with a boxplot attached along the y-axis (to show outliers) may be more informative in this case.

A boxplot is a 1-dimensional plot. The data points are jittered along the x-axis to make them less crowded.

We used #LabPlot, a free, open source and cross-platform data visualization and analysis software.

@Eheran

Great question! And what's _your_ answer?

@Sconrad122

Any exploratory plot forms a question and your comment shows how to look for answers. Thanks!

@smeg

The points are jittered along the x-axis, otherwise the data points could overlap.

@NOT_RICK

Australia is the next country after Ethiopia, but it's not outlier in this case.

The process average X and control limits are added to the plot for men. The average is 63.4. The upper control limit (UCL) is 64.8 and the lower control limit (LCL) is 62.0.

The UCL represents the largest value you would expect if you only have common causes of variation present. The LCL represents the smallest value you would expect if you only have common causes of variation present.

Actually, it looks more like the disability-free life expectancy has increased in 2015 and since then stays at about the same level.

According to the Eurostat, in 2021, the number of healthy life years at birth was estimated at 64.2 years for women and 63.1 years for men in the EU, this represented approximately 77.4 % and 81.7 % of the total life expectancy for women and men.

Is the act of distinguishing a question from an answer as difficult as recognizing spurious correlations?

The question has been raised earlier by others,. See for example this paper from 2021 (Measuring the effect of energy consumption on the epidemic
of overweight in Latin America and Caribbean countries):

If you are interested, please see also this thread on the importance of visualizing data (the Anscombe's quartet, Simpson's paradox are also included in @LabPlot):

We agree. But still, a question is just a question, and you can always refine your questions.

BTW, the Datasaurus Dozen example is already available in @LabPlot via File > Open Example.

For example: Tonga, Samoa, Kiribati, Nauru with electricity consumption per capita (the median) 548 kWh.
