Box Plot/ Histogram

Box plots and Histograms are both used to summarize data graphically. This two methods are very useful to find mean, median, maximum, average, percentage of number of given data. A box Plot(Box and Whisker Plot) shows the minimum data value, the lower quartile, the upper quartile, and the maximum data value of a number line. A box is created between the the lower and upper quartile and the median is marked inside the box.
A Histogram divides the range of values in a data set into intervals. Over each interval is placed a block or rectangle whose area represents of the data valuee in the intervals.
