The box part represents the interquartile range.
A box plot is a visual representation of the distribution of a dataset. It displays the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values of the dataset. The "box" in the plot represents the interquartile range, while the "whiskers" represent the range of the data excluding outliers.
The sides of the box are the quartile values: the left is the first quartile and the right is the third quartile. The width, therefore is the interquartile range.
The distance between 67.8 and 70.8 on a box plot is known as the interquartile range (IQR). It is calculated as the difference between the third quartile (Q3) and the first quartile (Q1), which represent the limits of the box in the box plot.
If you are talking about statisitics, in a box and whisker graph it is the interquartile range.
