In a modified boxplot, which elements may or may not appear, depending on the data set?
Outliers – Shown as individual points beyond the whiskers if the data set contains extreme values. If no outliers exist, they will not appear.
In a modified boxplot, which elements may or may not appear, depending on the data set?
Whiskers – Extend to the smallest and largest non-outlier values. If there are outliers, the whiskers stop at the last non-outlier value instead of the actual minimum and maximum.
