Box Plot



A box plot, similar to a histogram, is a standardized way to display data distribution based on the five number summary (minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum) and was created by John Turkey.

The box plot above shows the participation rates of eligible persons, by percentage, who took the SAT in the nine South-Atlantic states for the purpose of this survey.
