I have not encountered many box-and-whisker plots in my work. I have seen them in academic journals recently related to work. I do not feel like they are intuitive to the average reader. Now that I know what they are and what each component represents, I think it will be a bit easier to interpret data when I see them in this format moving forward.
I have seen a few histograms….but again I feel like bar charts & line graphs are charts I have commonly come in contact with and/or used to display data.
