What is box plot?

 BOX PLOT

A boxplot (or box-whisker plot) is a graphical representation of the distribution of the dataset.

Components:

Minimum(Q0): The smallest data point.
First Quartile(Q1): The median of the lower half of the dataset(25% Percentile)
Median(Q2): The middle value of the dataset(50% percentile)
Third Quartile(Q3)
Maximum(Q4):


Significance of Box Plots

  • Spread: The width of the box and length of the whiskers show variability in the data.
  • Outliers: Easily identify unusual data points.
  • Symmetry: A symmetric box indicates a symmetric distribution, while an asymmetric box shows skewness.
