Box and whisker plots are a visual representation of data that helps you see how far data values are spread out.

Suppose our data is the following scores on a math test:

64, 85, 92, 53, 72, 97, 78, 60, 94, 80, 68, 88

Creating a box and whisker plot of this data would result in the following graph.  Click on a part of the box and whisker plot to learn more.
