You have to find the shape, the center, and the range.
Shape: If most of the numbers/variables or the box is near the left, the shape is skewed to the right. If the box is near the left whisker, the shape is skewed to the left. If the box looks like it is in the middle of the chart, the shape is approximately normal.
Center: The center is the middle number of all of the data. You could say that it is the mean/average. Just use this: (Add all numbers) : (Number of variables)
Range: To find the range of the distribution, you simply just Subtract the biggest number with the smallest number.
Ex. 70-34=36 <------ Range
And yes, I'm Asian.
A box and whisker plot has four quartiles in which its data is spread across.
Yes, a box plot and a box and whisker plot refer to the same type of graphical representation of data distribution. Both terms describe a plot that displays the median, quartiles, and potential outliers of a dataset using a box and extending lines (whiskers) to indicate variability outside the upper and lower quartiles. This type of plot provides a visual summary of key statistical measures and is commonly used in exploratory data analysis.
A skewed box plot is characterized by the asymmetrical distribution of data, indicated by the position of the median line within the box and the lengths of the whiskers. In a right-skewed box plot, the median is closer to the lower quartile, with a longer upper whisker, while in a left-skewed box plot, the median is nearer to the upper quartile, accompanied by a longer lower whisker. Additionally, the presence of outliers may further emphasize the skewness of the data. Overall, the visual representation helps to quickly assess the distribution and identify potential outliers.
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.
Box-and-whisker plots highlight central values in a set of data. In order to construct a box-and-whisker plot, the first step is to order your data numerically and find the median value.

No, a box plot is not the same as a scatter plot. A box plot, or box-and-whisker plot, visually summarizes the distribution of a dataset by displaying its median, quartiles, and potential outliers. In contrast, a scatter plot shows individual data points plotted on two axes to illustrate the relationship between two variables. Each serves different purposes in data visualization and analysis.
If the data are quantitative they must have a median. If there is no median it is only because the data are qualitative and, in that case, a box and whiskers plot is meaningless.
A Box and Whisker Plot
It i the smallest value in the data set and corresponds to the value of the left-most end of the whisker. Unless there were outliers, in which case it will be an "X" to the left of the left-whisker.
