Create interactive box plots to visualize data distributions, including quartiles and outliers. Customize your plots and add multiple datasets.
Understanding Box Plots
Box plots (or box-and-whisker plots) are a standard way to visualize the distribution of data based on five summary numbers: minimum, first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3), and maximum.
Key Components
- Minimum: The lowest value in the dataset.
- Q1 (First Quartile): The median of the lower half of the dataset.
- Median: The middle value of the dataset.
- Q3 (Third Quartile): The median of the upper half of the dataset.
- Maximum: The highest value in the dataset.
