Description: Box plot statistics are visual tools that summarize and graphically represent the distribution of a dataset. This type of graph, also known as a boxplot, displays the median, quartiles, and outliers of a dataset. The representation consists of a rectangle that spans from the first quartile (Q1) to the third quartile (Q3), with a line in the middle indicating the median (Q2). The ‘whiskers’ of the plot extend to the maximum and minimum values that are not considered outliers, while points falling outside this range are marked as outliers. This type of visualization is particularly useful for comparing distributions across different groups and for identifying variability and skewness in the data. Box plots can be created using various data visualization libraries in programming environments, allowing analysts and data scientists to effectively explore and communicate their findings.
