Box Plot

   
     Box plots, also known as box or whisker diagrams, are useful in comparing multiple sets of data because they display the median, average, and level of dispersion. This particular box plot shows the data from five experiments along with the true value; these experiments tested the speed of light. The dark black line inside the boxes shows the median value of all the data combined from that particular experimental run and the true value of the speed of light is indicated by the red line.
