Simpson's Paradox is a statistical paradox that arises from time to time in working with ratios or proportions. Data visualization can be defined as visualizing data in ways that can help one find what one is looking for. Information visualization can be defined as visualizing data in ways that can help others understand a certain point of view. Previous work by the author looked at finding minimal instances of Simpson's Paradox and in using data visualization to visualize and investigate the asymptotic behavior of Simpson's Paradox. This paper looks at using information visualization techniques to make Simpson's Paradox more understandable.
