What is a boxplot

Boxplot is a simple way of representing statistical data on a plot in which a rectangle is drawn to represent the second and third quartiles, usually with a vertical line inside to indicate the median value. The lower and upper quartiles are shown as horizontal lines either side of the rectangle.

In terms of measurement, the PennState Eberly College of Science affirms that one of the most important uses of the boxplot is to compare two or more samples of one measurement variable.
