Boxplots on Tuva Box plots are used to summarize numerical data and compare distributions across groups. They provide a quick view of the center, spread, and overall shape of the data, making them especially useful for comparison. On Tuva, box plots divide data into four equal parts called quartiles, with each quartile containing 25% of the values. While box plots simplify the data by hiding individual cases, Tuva allows you to reveal additional detail when needed. [---cta ⚡ Ready to practice?
