Box plots are box-and-whiskers plot. Basically, it represents a set of data by marking its five number summary: lowest, quartile 1, median, quartile 3, and highest. Moreover, it also shows a dotted connection to outliers.
See the link in the related links section below for an example of what it looks like.
It's eaiser to see the outlier ( odd number) out of the data.
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.
They are never used there is no point in learning about them. We have to because it is required in school. So learn it but you will never use it.
stem and leaf plots are used in math
cause they both plot something
No because box and whisker plots are related to cumulative frequency curves
spatial figure
Yes, I believe they can.
by looking at it and seeing the difference
Nothing. Most box and whisker plots do not have 88 on them!
I believe it was John Tukey in 1997
Parallel box and whisker plots are regular box and whisker plots, but drawn "one-above-the other" on the piece of paper. To enable to do this easily, draw an x-axis which is big enough for the largest value in the data, and small enough for the smallest value in the data (in the entire collection of data). Plot each box-and-whisker diagram below each other.
Compare the shape,center,and spread of the data in the box plots with the data for stores A and B in the two box plots in example 2.
never, you will never use it
More people in different professions are finding use for box and whiskers plots. It can be used very effectively in time series analysis, which may include engineers, economists, earth scientists, statistician, social sciences and medicine, to name a few professions. Stock market analysis using the open, hi, low & close format as used in Excel is not really the same, but it does show the range of the values for a stock, and relavent values. Excel (by Microsoft) does not have box and whisker plots, but there are many companies selling add in programs to make these plots. I use the Matlab program, which has the capabilities to make box and whisker plots. See related links.

it is absolutely cazy and stupiddunno
