A Notched Box-and-Whisker Plot (or Notched Box Plot) is a variation of the standard box plot that includes notches around the median to indicate confidence intervals. The notches help visualize the uncertainty around the median and provide a quick way to assess statistical significance between groups. The width of the notch represents the variability in the median, making it easier to interpret differences across categories. If the notches of two box plots do not overlap, it suggests a significant difference between their medians at approximately the 95% confidence level. This plot type is commonly used for exploratory data analysis (EDA), hypothesis testing, and comparative studies.
