It means that the smaller value (in the lowest quartile) are more spread out than larger values.
Box and whisker plots are used to give a visual indication of where quartiles and highest/lowest values fall, so they're useful for visually comparing various sets of data. The "whisker" on the left extends to the lowest value in the data range (the left-most point). The first edge of the "box" indicates the lower quartile, the middle line in the box represents the median quartile, and the upper edge of the box represents the 3rd quartile. The "whisker" on the right extends to the highest value in the data set. Clearly when using many box and whisker plots, and comparing them to each other, it helps greatly if you use the same scale on each plot. Sometimes it may be decided that your lowest/highest data values are "outliers" (anomalous results), in which case they are still included in the box and whisker plot, but they should be demarcated by a hollow circle wherever the outlier is deemed to be.
The lower quartile is the line that represents the left-hand edge of the "box", in the box and whisker plot.
The left-most point is the 0th percentile, the left edge of the box is the 25th percentile, the middle line of the box is the 50th percentile, the right end of the box is the 75th percentile, and the right-most point is the 99th percentile.this person sucks, nobody understands that, hope you are not a teacher
A distribution or set of observations is said to be skewed right or positively skewed if it has a longer "tail" of numbers on the right. The mass of the distribution is more towards the left of the figure rather than the middle.
Not sure about a box 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 byminumum,lower quartile (Q1),median (Q2),upper quartile (Q3), andmaximum.If there are outliers, they are usually excluded from the box and whiskers plot and are marked up separately as crosses.
In a box plot, positive skew is indicated by a long right tail, where the whisker on the right side of the box is longer than the one on the left side. Negative skew is shown by a long left tail, where the whisker on the left side of the box is longer than the one on the right side.
The median is Q2, if it is on the right side of the box, then then it is close to Q3 than it is to Q1. If the right line ( whisker) is longer than the left, it mean the biggest outlier is farther from Q3 than the smallest outlier is from Q1. All of this means the population from which the data was sampled was skewed to the right.

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.
Yes. For example, if at least a quarter of the observations were all equal to the minimum then the left whisker would collapse into the left side of the box. Similarly, if a quarter of the observations were equal to the maximum, the right whisker would not appear.
In math, skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of a probability distribution. A distribution is considered right-skewed if the tail on the right side is longer or fatter than the tail on the left side, and vice versa for left-skewed distributions. Skewness can give insight into the shape of a dataset and how it deviates from a symmetrical distribution like the normal distribution.
The lower quartile is the line that represents the left-hand edge of the "box", in the box and whisker plot.
Assuming no outliers, the two are the lowest (left-most) and the highest (right-most) values of the whiskers (not wiskers).
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.
right hand
On average, right-handed people live about nine years longer than left-handed people.
The left ureter is typically longer than the right due to the position of the left kidney being higher than the right kidney. This difference in position influences the length of the ureters on each side.
