Answer 1

a box plot is a way to show variation in a data set

Explanation:

the first line ( also known as a whisker ) points to the minimum (the smallest number) and the second line points to the maximum ( the largest number )The side of the box closest to the minimum marks the first quartile (The middle number in between the median and the minimum). The line inside the box marks the median( The middle number in the data set). The side of the box closest to the maximum is the third quartile ( the middle number in between the median and the maximum.

Answer 2

A boxplot is a standardized way of displaying the distribution of data based on a five number summary (“minimum”, first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3), and “maximum”). It can tell you about your outliers and what their values are
