05 4-5 The box plot (box-and-whisker)

  • A box plot is drawn from exactly five numbers: the minimum, Q1, the median, Q3 and the maximum.
  • The box spans Q1 to Q3 (so its length is the IQR), the line inside the box is the median, and the whiskers reach the least and greatest values.
  • Reading it: a longer box means more spread in the middle 50%; a whisker much longer than the other signals a possible outlier; the side on which the median line sits shows where the data concentrate.
  • Two box plots on the same axis compare the two distributions at a glance — position (median) and spread (box length) together.
