"Box Plot"

Box Plot
A box plot, sometimes referred to as box and whisker plot, is used to show five different number summaries at one time; the smallest observation or minimum, lower quartile, the median, upper quartile, and largest observation the maximum. A boxplot may also indicate if a data set has outliers or extremties. In the box plot above the minimum is about 30, while the maximum is about 125.
