The box and whiskers plot is a means to illustrate data. This is a chart where the horizontal axis represents the possible values that a variable can take. The vertical axis is irrelevant.
5 key statistics are extracted from the data set: the minimum value, the lower quartile, the median, the upper quartile and the maximum value.
The plot consists of a box or rectangle whose left side is the lower quartile and whose right is the upper quartile. The height of the rectangle is an arbitrary value. The median appears as a vertical line in this rectangle.
From the middle of the left side, a horizontal line stretches out to the minimum value. Similarly, a line to the maximum value goes from the right end of the rectangle. These are the whiskers.
That is the basic box and whiskers plot.
One refinement is to exclude outliers, determine the whisker-ends without them and then mark them separately as "X" along where the whiskers would have extended to.

What is an box an whisker plot?
A box and whisker plot is a sort of graph used to show a period of time such as a time line or a line graph. To really found out what a box and whisker plot is you should ask a teacher
What does the 88 represent on a box and whisker plot?
Nothing. Most box and whisker plots do not have 88 on them!
What does a long whisker mean in a box and whisker plot?
Nobody likes cats
How do you use the box-and-whisker plot to describe the information of height and weight?
The box-and-whisker plot is simply a visual representation. It doesn't describe anything specific like height and weight. If you don't understand what a box-and-whisker plot is, you should be asking about what a box-and-whisker plot is. This is much like asking about what a pie chart is or a bar graph is... it's meaningless without context.

Is a box and whisker plot the same as a regular box plot?
Yes
How do you make a misleading box and whisker plot?
how about you tell me what a misleading box and whisker plot is first and then ill answer ur question ;)
What is the lower quartile on a box and whisker plot?
The lower quartile is the line that represents the left-hand edge of the "box", in the box and whisker plot.
How do you find the mode in a box and whisker?
You cannot. The mode is not part of a box and whisker plot.
What is the type of average on a box and whisker plot?
On a standard box-and-whisker plot, the averages used are medians. Arithmetic means are used in some box-and-whisker plots, but most use medians.

Can you find the mean median mode and range on a box and whisker plot?
A box and whisker plot cannot identify the mean or mode.
