Box Plot



A box plot, or box and whisker diagram provides a simple graphical summary of a set of data. Typically this graph is based on a five number summary including: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum as shown in this example. This graph is very convenient for the viewer because it provides a lot of information with minimum effort required from the reader.
