The Box-and-Whisker plot provides a visual summary of a data set including the median, quartiles and extreme values to characterize the distribution, while the stem-and-leaf display organizes data by splitting values into stem and leaf parts where the tens place is the stem and units digit is the leaf.

Summarizing Data Using a Box-and-Whisker Plot
The Box-and-Whisker plot is a graphical way of providing the visual summary
of a set of data that involves the median, quartiles and extreme values, which characterizes the distribution. The following figure illustrates the components of Box- and-Whisker plot.
The Use of Stem-and-Leaf Diagrams in Organizing Data
The stem-and-leaf display is a tabular way of organizing data. It is formed by splitting the data values into two parts. The “tens” part forms the “stem” while the units digit represents the leaves. The first part can also be extended to hundreds, thousands and so on as the leading units depending on the values involved in a given data set.
