What does a box plot show?
A box plot summarizes a numerical distribution through its median, lower and upper quartiles, and whiskers. Depending on the convention, observations beyond the whiskers may appear as individual points.
Use it to compare distributions
Box plots are useful when groups differ in spread, central value, or extreme observations. They compress the data, so small samples may be clearer as individual dots.
Make the summary interpretable
- Label the units. The reader needs to know whether the axis represents dollars, seconds, scores, or another measure.
- State the whisker rule. Minimum-to-maximum whiskers and outlier-based whiskers convey different information.
- Document quartile calculation. Different conventions can produce different results for the same small sample.
- Show group sizes. A summary of five observations deserves different scrutiny from one of five thousand.
- Use a common scale. Comparable axes help readers assess differences without visual distortion.
Plot the data you supply
MyMap can draft a chart from your values and revise labels or grouping. The salary example uses five-number summaries across five engineering levels and does not display separate outlier points.

Common questions
Should I provide raw data or summaries?
Either can describe a box plot. For summaries, label every value explicitly as a whisker endpoint, quartile, or median and include separately identified outliers if needed.
Are whiskers always the minimum and maximum?
No. Some box plots use the extremes, while others use a rule based on the interquartile range. Specify the convention you intend.
Does overlap prove that groups are equivalent?
No. A box plot is a descriptive view. It does not establish equivalence, causation, or statistical significance.
