What is the purpose of the 'whiskers' in a box plot?
- To represent the outliers
- To represent the range of the data
- To show the interquartile range
- To show the mean and median
The 'whiskers' in a box plot represent the range of the data. The upper whisker extends to the maximum data value or up to 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR), while the lower whisker extends to the minimum data value or up to 1.5 times the IQR. Any data points beyond the whiskers can be considered outliers.
