Roughly Symmetic - Answer: If the median is near the center of the box and each
horizontal line is of approximately equal length, the distribution is roughly symmetric.


The Median is in the center of the box, so the distance from M to Q1. Is the same as the
distance from M to Q3. The left and right whiskers are roughly the same length.


Skewed Right - Answer: If the median is to the left of the center of the box or the right
line is substantially longer than the left line, the distribution is skewed right.


The median is left of center in the box, which means the distance from M to Q1 is less
than the distance from M to Q3. The right whisker is longer than the left whisker.


Skewed Left - Answer: If the median is to the right of the center of the box or the left
line is substantially longer than the right line, the distribution is skewed left.


The median is right of center in the box, so the distance from M to Q1 is more than the
distance from M to Q3. The left whisker is longer than the right whisker.
