Statistical Fundamentals: A Visual Approach Workshop Series—Visualizing Samples with Boxplots and Kick the Bar Chart Habit

Library Building (LIB) 3287 University Way, Kelowna

This session will address the advantages of box plots over bar charts for displaying the spread and variability in data. Participants will learn how box plots can be used to compare multiple samples, the impact of sample size on data representation, and the efficient identification of outliers.

By the end of the session, participants should be able to create and interpret box plots, appreciate their usefulness in comparing multiple samples, understand the implications of sample size, and identify outliers and median confidence intervals through notches in box plots.
