A box-and-whisker diagram is a graphical representation of the information contained in a five-number summary.

By presenting more than one such plot next to each other in the same diagram, it is then possible to see major differences between their characteristics.


Box

The box is a rectangle whose length is an indication of the interquartile range, divided in two by the median.

The breadth of this box is arbitrary.


Whiskers

The whiskers are lines extending from the box which indicate the range.
