What information does a box plot provide about a dataset?
- The correlation between variables
- The exact values of all data points
- The mean and standard deviation
- The minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum
A box plot (also known as a whisker plot) displays a summary of the distribution of data values, including the minimum, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum. The 'box' represents the interquartile range (the distance between Q1 and Q3), and the 'whiskers' represent the range of the data. Outliers may also be plotted as individual points.
