6. Box plots are a concise way of summarizing distributions by representing the 25th, 50th (median) and 75th percentiles by a box with whiskers covering a wide range of the data (e.g., 99.3%) under an assumption of a normal distribution. Data points outside this range (outliers) can be plotted individually. (See, for example, boxplot in MATLAB ®, The MathWorks, Natick, MA.)
