A box plot displays the minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and maximum values of a data set.
- 2
The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values, while the interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between the upper and lower quartiles.
- 3
The interquartile range (IQR) measures the variability of a data set; a larger IQR indicates more variation in the data.
