Box and Whiskers explained

Some of the first lessons a student may learn about statistics include descriptive statistics such as Mean and Median. A standard representation of the median of a group of data points might also include the box and whiskers visualization. This representation shows a box, where the middle 50% of the data exist, and the whiskers extending to the outer range of the data. These visualizations are very helpful to communicate important summaries of a dataset. 

In DataClassroom, it is as easy as checking a box to show these valuable descriptive statistic visualizations. The values for these calculations are also shown so students can learn how to use the statistical tools to process their data and confirm their work.
