Box Plots

 A box plot is a statistical representation of data distribution through five main dimensions: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

The minimum and maximum values represent the smallest and largest numbers in the sorted data, respectively.

The first quartile is the point 25% of the way through the sorted data, and the third quartile is the point 75% of the way through the sorted data.

To create a box plot using Matplotlib, you start by processing the DataFrame to set the appropriate index and columns.

Then, you call the plot function on the DataFrame and set kind=box to generate the box plot.

After completing the figure with a title and appropriate labels, you use the show function to display the plot.

Box plots are valuable tools for visually understanding the distribution of data, identifying outliers, and comparing different datasets effectively.
