What's in a boxplot...

I had to work out what the box plot represents.

Here's what I wrote:
"   In the plots, the dark line shows the median; the box shows the limits of the first and third quartile of data; the whiskers indicate the last data point within 1.5 times the inter-quartile range; the circles indicate data points that are outside 1.5 times the inter-quartile range.   "
