A box plot, also known as a box-and-whisker plot, is a graphical representation of a dataset that displays several key statistics: the minimum and maximum values (whiskers), the lower quartile (the 25th percentile), the median (the 50th percentile), and the upper quartile (the 75th percentile). It provides a visual summary of the distribution of the data and allows for easy comparison between multiple datasets.A box plot is constructed by marking a rectangular box whose edges represent the lower quartile and upper quartile, with a line inside the box representing the median. The whiskers extend from the box up to the minimum and maximum values, and there may be additional points beyond the whiskers representing outliers.The box plot is a useful tool for identifying the range and distribution of a dataset, as well as identifying any potential outliers. It is commonly used in statistical analysis and data visualization to gain insights into the variability and central tendency of a dataset.
