The box-and-whiskers plot shows the distribution of the interest rate on new corporate loans by size of company. The box contains half of the loan observations, i.e. the observations between the lower and upper quartile. The median interest rate on the loans is marked in the box by a horizontal line. The line segments below and above the box extend to the 15th and 85th percentile, i.e. a total of 30% of the observations are outside them.
