Displays the outlier points that lie either below the lower whisker line or above the upper whisker line. Inclusive median The median is included in the calculation if N the number of values in the data is odd. Exclusive median The median is excluded from the calculation if N the number of values in the data is odd.

Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. The box within the chart displays where around 50 percent of the data points fall. It summarizes a data set in five marks. The mark with the greatest value is called the maximum.
It will likely fall far outside the box. The mark with the lowest value is called the minimum. It will likely fall outside the box on the opposite side as the maximum. The box itself contains the lower quartile, the upper quartile, and the median in the center. The median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution.
You can think of the median as "the middle" value in a set of numbers based on a count of your values rather than the middle based on numeric value. These sections help the viewer see where the median falls within the distribution. The lower quartile is the 25th percentile, while the upper quartile is the 75th percentile.
The median is the middle, but it helps give a better sense of what to expect from these measurements. The whiskers the lines extending from the box on both sides typically extend to 1. Hence the name, box, and whisker plot. Use a box and whisker plot to show the distribution of data within a population. They allow for users to determine where the majority of the points land at a glance. They are even more useful when comparing distributions between members of a category in your data. The example above is the distribution of NBA salaries in It's broken down by team to see which one has the widest range of salaries.
It also shows which teams have a large amount of outliers. As shown above, one can arrange several box and whisker plots horizontally or vertically to allow for easy comparison. Use a box and whisker plot when the desired outcome from your analysis is to understand the distribution of data points within a range of values. They also help you determine the existence of outliers within the dataset.
Keep in mind that the steps to build a box and whisker plot will vary between software, but the principles remain the same.
You need a qualitative categorical field to partition your view by. You also need a more granular qualitative value to partition your categorical field by. Finally, you need a single set of values to measure. The view below compares distributions across each category using a histogram.
This type of visualization can be good to compare distributions across a small number of members in a category.
