What is a box plot?

Hmm... good question! I would describe a box plot as a visual representation of the statistical five number summary of a given data set!

Box Plot gives a summary of data, 5 key numbers go on the Box Plot.

Lowest value

Lower Quartile

Median

Upper Quartile

Highest Value

A box plot is a graphical technique that shows minimum value, lower quartile or 25th percentile, median or 50th percentile, upper quartile or 75th percentile and maximum value. It also shows skewness if right or left skewed which can link to normal probability graphs as well as ranges and outliers.

is a method for graphically demonstrating the locality, spread and skewness groups of numerical data through their quartiles.
