Five numbers, one argument: min, Q1, median, Q3, max. A boxplot is a headline about where most of the data lives and how it leans. The median’s position tells you skew. The whiskers whisper about range. Dots outside the fence ask for investigation, not exile. Compare groups side by side and you’ll see differences that a table hides. Then write the sentence the box is trying to say: “Section B runs tighter and a bit higher than Section A.” If you can’t write that sentence, you don’t need more ink… you need a clearer question.
