A boxplot is a graphical summary of the distribution of a sample that shows its shape, central tendency, and variability. Boxplots have lines extending vertically from the boxes (whiskers), indicating variability outside the upper and lower quartiles, hence the box-and-whisker plot and box-and-whisker diagram.
