Figure 2. Box-plot with whiskers from minimum to maximum Figure 3. Same box-plot with whiskers drawn within the 1.5 IQR value. A boxplot is a standardized way of displaying the dataset based on the five-number summary: the minimum, the maximum, the sample median, and the first and third quartiles.
Box plot of five West Coast cities rainfall data. The box plot above is not entirely clear. It is hard to distinguish the cities that are somewhat similar (average or mean is not statistically different) vs. the ones that are dissimilar (average or mean is statistically different). Now, let's view the same boxplot using the CLD methodology.
Box plot of the Michelson–Morley experiment, showing several summary statistics. In descriptive statistics, summary statistics are used to summarize a set of observations, in order to communicate the largest amount of information as simply as possible. Statisticians commonly try to describe the observations in
They are basic summary statistics, used in descriptive statistics such as the five-number summary and Bowley's seven-figure summary and the associated box plot. The minimum and the maximum value are the first and last order statistics (often denoted X (1) and X ( n ) respectively, for a sample size of n ).
To interpret the graph, all that is needed is to determine the ordering of the factors by length of the line connecting the two dots. The longer the line, the more significant the factor. Therefore, this plot clearly demonstrates that factor 4 (chosen gear) is the most important factor in determining bike speed, factor 2 (dynamo engaged or not ...

For the variables under examination, analysts typically obtain descriptive statistics for them, such as the mean (average), median, and standard deviation. [61] They may also analyze the distribution of the key variables to see how the individual values cluster around the mean. [62] An illustration of the MECE principle used for data analysis.
The middle three values – the lower quartile, median, and upper quartile – are the usual statistics from the five-number summary and are the standard values for the box in a box plot.
