If you have, you know it has upper and lower data extremes. So to graph that information, you use a box and whisker plot or a box plot. This graph looks like a box with little whiskers coming out of it. The whiskers show the extremes while the box shows the median.
A box and whisker plot or diagram (otherwise known as a boxplot), is a graph summarising a set of data. The shape of the boxplot shows how the data is distributed and it also shows any outliers. It is a useful way to compare different sets of data as you can draw more than one boxplot per graph.
