Both plots are ways of visualizing data. Both are used in statistical analyses. But I would say they are not very alike. Histograms show the relative or absolute frequency of data in specified (usually equal) intervals. The range of values in a single data set can be seen on a histogram. A box shows how the median and range of various datasets vary over time (or some other variable).

Is a box plot another name for a histogram?

No, a box plot is not another name for a histogram. A box plot, or box-and-whisker plot, summarizes data using five statistics: the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum. In contrast, a histogram represents the distribution of numerical data by displaying the frequency of data points within specified intervals or bins. Both are useful for data visualization but serve different purposes.


What does a box plot tell you vs a histogram?

A box plot summarises data in five items of information: the minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and maximum. The histogram gives the probability density for each group of values.


What information is found in a histogram and not in a box-and-whiskers plot?

The answer will depend on the histogram. If the histogram consists of four intervals whose boundaries are the quartiles of the distribution, then it will contain exactly the same information.
