Box-and-Whisker Plots
Box-and-Whisker Plots, commonly known as box plots, are powerful visual tools used in statistics to summarize and illustrate the distribution of a dataset. This concise graphical representation provides key insights into the central tendency, spread, and potential outliers within the data. Comprising a rectangular box and whiskers extending from it, each component of the plot signifies specific statistical measures. As an efficient and informative method, box-and-whisker plots find extensive application in diverse fields, aiding analysts and researchers in interpreting data distributions with clarity and precision.
