Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A box and whisker plot will display the median, quartiles, and range of the data, providing information on central tendencies and variabilities. The plot can also indicate the presence of outliers and provide a visual representation of the shape of the distribution. Percentiles can be estimated from the plot as well. The other options, such as interquartile map and perceptual map, are not commonly used to display the mentioned measures, while a histogram only displays the shape and frequency of the distribution.
