Box plots are also known as box or whisker diagrams. They are useful in comparing multiple sets of data because they display the median, the average, and the level or measurement of dispersion. This box plot shows the data from 5 experiments along with the true value. This experiments tested the speed of light. The dark black line inside the boxes shows the median value of all the data combined from that particular experimental run. The box extends from the highest value to the lowest value. The true value of the speed of light is shown in red. The numbers are presented in km/s minus 299,000.
