A box plot, also known as a box-and-whisker plot, is a graphical representation of the distribution of a dataset. It provides a visual summary of key statistical measures, helping to identify the central tendency, spread, and potential outliers within the data. We'll learn some general lessons about how to graph data that fall into a small number of categories. To create a histogram, you divide the data into equal intervals called “bins” and count the occurrences of the data points within each bin. Box plots are particularly useful for.
