Box and Whisker Plot Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to create a box and whisker plot. It begins with ordering data from least to greatest, finding the median (Q2), and then identifying the quartiles (Q1 and Q3). The tutorial also covers how to determine the minimum and maximum values. Finally, it demonstrates how to plot these values on a number line to form the box and whisker plot, with the outer points as whiskers and the inner points forming the box.
