Question 9

What is a boxplot ? Which situations are more appropriate for boxplot ?

Answer

A boxplot is a graphical representation of the distribution of a dataset through five summary statistics: the extremes (the highest and the lowest numbers), the median, and the upper and lower quartiles.

Box plots are suitable for visualizing the spread of data, identifying outliers, comparing data distribution between different groups or categories, and assessing symmetry in a dataset.
