Another important statistical concept is that of percentile, so let’s get a good understanding of this essential feature. Also, let’s learn to interpret statistical features from plots.

Anatomy of a Box Plot

Do you remember the box plots from the lessons on data visualization? As we saw earlier, we can write some very simple code using Matplotlib’s boxplot() method to obtain statistical features in the form of box plots:
