	1.3.3.7. Box Plot
		Calculate the median and the quartiles (the lower quartile is the 25th percentile and the upper quartile is the 75th percentile).
		Plot a symbol at the median (or draw a line) and draw a box (hence the name--box plot) between the lower and upper quartiles; this box represents the middle 50% of the data--the "body" of the data.
		Plot a symbol at the median and draw a box between the lower and upper quartiles.

	Box Plot
		This attribute can be named in a bucket that is dropped on the box plot or can be one of the states of a component that is dropped on the box plot.
		If a bucket is dropped on the box plot then the bin controls for the box plot are those of the bucket.
		If a component is dropped on the box plot then there is a hidden bucket associated with the box plot and the bin controls are associated with the box plot and are accessible from the box plot control panel.

		Indicate where the median lies inside of the box with the presence of a symbol or a line dividing the box at the median value.
		Indicate where the smallest value that is not an outlier is by a vertical tic mark or "whisker", and connect the whisker to the box via a horizontal line.
		There are alternative implementations of this detail of the box plot in various software packages, such as the whiskers extending to at most the 5th and 95th (or some more extreme) percentiles.

	Box plots - Introduction
		A box plot is a way of summarizing a set of data measured on an interval scale.
		Box plots are also very useful when large numbers of observations are involved and when two or more data sets are being compared.
		The significance of the box plot is that it is not strongly influenced by the outliers.

	1.5 Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
		A small rectangular box is drawn with a line representing the median, while the top and bottom of the box represent the 75th and 25th percentiles (3rd and 1st quartiles), respectively.
		Box plots easily represent the interquartile range as the distance between the top and bottom edges of the box.
		Box and whisker plots represent more completely the range of values in the data by extending vertical lines to the largest and smallest values that are not outliers, extending short horizontal segments from these lines to make more apparent the values beyond which outliers begin (see Figure above).

	LMVP - Help with Box Plots
		The box plot for this data has the median line in the middle of the box and the minimum and maximum lines extend equal distances from the box.
		When we compare the box plot for Example 2 to the box plot for Example 1 we see two indications that the data was skewed: 1) the vertical line identifying the maximum is longer than the minimum line, and 2) the box extends higher above the median line than it does below.
		Comparison of this box plot to Example 1 shows that the plots are the same with the exception of the median line.

	Box Plot (1 of 2) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The box stretches from the lower hinge (defined as the 25th percentile) to the upper hinge (the 75th percentile) and therefore contains the middle half of the scores in the distribution.
		Therefore 1/4 of the distribution is between this line and the top of the box and 1/4 of the distribution is between this line and the bottom of the box.
		For the data plotted in the figure, the minimum value is above the lower inner fence and is therefore the lower adjacent value.

		The "bar deviation" plot is similar to the Bar X plot, in that individual data points are represented by vertical bars, however, the bars connect the data points to a user-selectable baseline.
		In Box Plots (this term was first used by Tukey, 1970), ranges or distribution characteristics of values of a selected variable (or variables) are plotted separately for groups of cases defined by values of a categorical (grouping) variable.

	Notes on Boxplots
		The box of the plot is a rectangle which encloses the middle half of the sample, with an end at each quartile.
		The length of the box is thus the interquartile range of the sample.
		The position of the box in its whiskers and the position of the line in the box also tells us whether the sample is symmetric or skewed, either to the right or left.

		In fact, even though the box plot does not directly contain the mean (it only shows the median) it is possible to estimate whether the mean is less than or greater than the median by looking whether the box plot is skewed to the left or to the right.
		The box plot will look as if the box was shifted to the left so that the right tail will be longer, and the median will be closer to the left line of the box in the box plot.
		Create a box plot for the data from each variable and decide, based on that box plot, whether the distribution of values is normal, skewed to the left, or skewed to the right, and estimate the value of the mean in relation to the median.

		It does not show a distribution in as much detail as a stem and leaf plot or histogram does, but is especially useful for indicating whether a distribution is skewed and whether there are potential unusual observations (outliers) in the data set.
		Box and whisker plots are also very useful when large numbers of observations are involved and when two or more data sets are being compared.
		Box and whisker plots are ideal for comparing distributions because the centre, spread and overall range are immediately apparent.

		box and whisker diagram) is a standardized way of displaying the distribution of data based on the five number summary: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.
		On the other hand, a straightforward plot of the sample means and population standard deviations, suggests negative values (which prevents use of a log-scale) and broad overlap between the two distributions.
		One case of particular concern --where a box plot can be deceptive-- is when the data are distributed into "two lumps" rather than the "one lump" cases we've considered so far.

	Definition of Box plot
		In descriptive statistics (also known as a box-and-whisker diagram), a box plot is a convenient way of graphically depicting the five-number summary, which consists of the smallest observation, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and largest observation.
		The horizontal lines (the "whiskers") extend to at most 1.5 times the box width (the interquartile range) from either or both ends of the box.
		There are alternative implementations of this detail of the box plot in various software packages, such as the whiskers extending to at most the 5th and 95th (or some more extreme) percentiles.

	Box and Whisker Plots in Origin
		The box plot (sometimes called a box and whisker plot or box chart) is a graphical representation of key values from summary statistics.
		Box plots are helpful in Quality Analysis for interpreting the distribution of data since it can easily show whether the data is skewed and if there are unusual observations (outliers) in the dataset.
		Box plots are also very useful when large numbers of observations are involved and when two or more datasets are being compared.

	Box Plots and Box & Whiskers Plots
		We will use what are called box plots to display some of the data.
