So a dot on a boxplot graph represents an outlier.
Am I correct to assume that each dot, can represent one or more data values? Because there could be multiple outliers of the same value and they will still be represented by only one dot.
This is relevant, because I just did a SAC that had a question asking about the number of data values larger than a certain number. And the parallel box plot graph displayed some categories having only outliers exceeding the value (not from the start of the whisker) so I couldn't assume 25%. So my final answer was an inequality where the number of data values could be larger than or equal to a particular number.
Let me know if you have seen something like this before or have a definitive answer to this problem.
Thanks!
