boxplot
Five-number summary visualization
A boxplot is a statistical graph that displays the distribution of data through five key values: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.
The "box" shows the middle 50% of values, with a line marking the median, while "whiskers" extend to the extremes.
Outliers appear as separate points.
Also called a box-and-whisker plot.
