Frequently Asked Questions
What is a box plot used for?
Box plots visualize data distribution, showing central tendency, variability, and potential outliers in a dataset.
How are outliers determined?
Outliers are typically identified as points beyond 1.5 times the IQR above Q3 or below Q1.
What does the box represent?
The box represents the middle 50% of the data, with the top being Q3 and the bottom being Q1. The line inside is the median.
