Box plot

A box plot gives a very simple graphical summary of a set of data. Here you can see the median, average, and measures of dispersion of the annual snow depth at Mathsville Ski Resort. Typically box plots are very useful for comparing multiple sets of data in an uncluttered and easy to interprety manner, but the plot shown here only contains a single set of data.
