Whiskers are limited by a mathematical calculation.
The upper whisker can be no longer than:
Q3 + 1.5 (Q3-Q1).
The whisker line is drawn to the
largest value in the data set below this calculated value. If there are data points above this value, they show up
as asterisks to indicate they may be outliers.
The same is true for the lower whisker with a limit of Q1 - 1.5x
(Q3 - Q1).
The whisker line is then drawn to the smallest value in the data set above this calculated value.
