The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Outliers that differ significantly from the rest of the dataset may be plotted as individual points beyond the whiskers on the box plot.
- Box plots are non-parametric: they display variation in samples of a statistical population without making any assumptions of the underlying statistical distribution.
- The spacings in each subsection of the box plot indicate the degree of dispersion and skewness of the data, which are usually described using the five-number summary.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Box plot article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Box plot
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
