The box represents your Q1, Q2 (median) and Q3, so it is your interquartile range. The Q1 is the first box line, the Q2 is the middle one and the Q3 is the closing line. Your interquartile range basically tells you where 50% of the people are.
A box and whisker plot has four quartiles in which its data is spread across.
You cannot. The mode is not part of a box and whisker plot.
Oh, dude, finding the mean, median, mode, and range on a box and whisker plot is like trying to make a sandwich with a hammer. The box and whisker plot already shows you the median (that's the line in the box) and the range (from whisker to whisker). The mean and mode aren't typically shown on a box plot because they're off doing their own thing, not invited to the box and whisker party.
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.
no no sorry to say it, but it can NEVER go on the outside
