How to read a box plot:
The size of the squares in relation to each other also reveals how evenly distributed the data values are. For example, looking at the Agency bar in the plot above, the lower two squares (P5 to Median) are shorter than the two above (Median to P95). This indicates that there is a smaller range in values for the bottom 45% compared to the top 45%. The APS bar illustrates that the APS data values appear to be more evenly distributed as all four squares appear to be of similar length.
