A boxplot provides a visual spread of the data based on percentile points (specifically the quartiles). A frequency table shows the number of times each value occurs in the data set. A histogram shows the frequency distribution of a continuous variable by dividing it into intervals and plotting the number of observations that fall into each interval. A frequency polygon is similar to a histogram, but instead of bars, a line is used to connect the midpoints of each interval.
