No, a box and whisker plot's purpose is not to show the mean or mode. It is primarily used to display the distribution of a dataset by showing the median, quartiles, and range of the data. The mean or mode may sometimes be included in a box and whisker plot, but they are not the main focus.
No, a box and whisker plot's purpose is not specifically to show the mean or mode. The main purpose of a box and whisker plot is to visually display the distribution of a dataset and provide information about the spread and skewness of the data. It includes the minimum value, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum value. The plot typically consists of a box with whiskers extending from it, showing the range of the data. While the mean can be represented using a box and whisker plot, it is not its primary purpose. The mode, which is the most frequently occurring value in a dataset, is not typically shown in a box and whisker plot.
