Not sure about a whisker plot, but a box and whisker plot is a representation of statistical data for one variable (at a time).
It consists of a rectangular shape, the "box", plotted against a horizontal value axis. The left side of the box is the lower quartile of the data and the right side is the upper quartile. The median divides the box.
Extending out from both sides of the box are lines, the "whiskers", that reach to the minimum and maximum values.
So, a box and whisker plot is defined by
- minumum,
- lower quartile (Q1),
- median (Q2),
- upper quartile (Q3), and
- maximum.
If there are outliers, they are usually excluded from the box and whiskers plot and are marked up separately as crosses.

What type of graph is best for revealing the upper and lower quartiles of a set of data?
box-and-whisker plot
Why do you multiply by 1.5 in a box and whiskers plot?
When John Turkey was inventing the box-and-whisker plot in 1977 to display these values, he picked 1.5*IQR (inter-quartile range) as the demarcation line for outliers. This has worked so well, so we've continued using that value ever since.
How do you plot square roots on number line?
Then plot it!
How can an outlier be determined in a line plot?
If is does not cluster with the other points on a plot. example; the asterik is the outlier ........ ... ...... ...... .. ........ .. ...... ... .. . ...... __________* .. .. . . . . . .. ..
Is it possible to get an infinite root of a number?
Generally, no. But one of the infinite roots of 1 is 1. Otherwise one of the roots would be nearly 1. Just a whisker smaller than 1 if it was the root of a number between 0 and 1, and just a whisker larger if the number was greater than 1. If the number was less than 0, then the roots would vary from the real to the complex numbers.
What is an example for a box and whisker plot?

What is an box an whisker plot?

How do you make a misleading box and whisker plot?
how about you tell me what a misleading box and whisker plot is first and then ill answer ur question ;)

How do you find the mode in a box and whisker?
You cannot. The mode is not part of a box and whisker plot.
What is the type of average on a box and whisker plot?
On a standard box-and-whisker plot, the averages used are medians. Arithmetic means are used in some box-and-whisker plots, but most use medians.
What is the lower quartile on a box and whisker plot?
The lower quartile is the line that represents the left-hand edge of the "box", in the box and whisker plot.
Is a box and whisker plot the same as a regular box plot?
Yes
What does the 88 represent on a box and whisker plot?
Nothing. Most box and whisker plots do not have 88 on them!
How do you use the box-and-whisker plot to describe the information of height and weight?
The box-and-whisker plot is simply a visual representation. It doesn't describe anything specific like height and weight. If you don't understand what a box-and-whisker plot is, you should be asking about what a box-and-whisker plot is. This is much like asking about what a pie chart is or a bar graph is... it's meaningless without context.
Can you find the mean median mode and range on a box and whisker plot?
A box and whisker plot cannot identify the mean or mode.
