Boxplot

The Boxplot Chart is used to visualise the distribution and spread of numerical data. It summarises the dataset using statistical values such as minimum, maximum, median, quartiles, and potential outliers. Boxplots are useful for comparing data distributions across categories and identifying variations, skewness, and unusual values within the dataset.
