Negative Skew Box Plot. 340 300 520 340 320 290 260 330 One book says If the lower quartile is farther from the median than the upper quartile then the distribution is negatively skewed Several other sources said more or less the same. The box plot is comparatively tall see examples 1 and 3. How to decide skewness by looking at a boxplot built from this data. When the median is in the middle of the box and the whiskers are roughly equal on each side the distribution is symmetrical or no skew.
For any queries do leave a comment down below. That graph is called the Box Plot. When the median is closer to the top of the box and the whisker is shorter on the upper end of the box the distribution is left-skewed or negatively skewed. It means the data constitute higher frequency of low valued scores. And conversely for a left-skewed or negatively skewed. One box plot is much higher or lower than another compare 3 and 4 This could suggest a difference between groups.

Box plots show the five-number summary of a set of data. When the median is closer to the top of the box and the whisker is shorter on the upper end of the box the distribution is left-skewed or negatively skewed. Skewness may judged informally from box plots by where the quartiles lie relative to the median and by where the extremes lie relative to the median. If the box plot is symmetric it means that our data follows a normal distribution. On the downside a box plots simplicity also sets limitations on the density of data that it can show. The box-and-whisker plot also known simply as the box plot is useful in visualizing skewness or lack thereof in data.
