What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.
The five number summary describes a distribution with minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile and maximum, exactly what a box plot draws. For 12, 7, 9, 12, 15, 3, 8 it is 3, 7, 9, 12, 15: the box runs from 7 to 12 with a line at 9, and the whiskers reach 3 and 15.

The box holds the middle 50% of the data, the line inside is the median, and the whiskers reach the smallest and largest values. A long whisker on one side means skew in that direction.
In a modified box plot they are; use the Outlier Calculator to list values beyond 1.5 × IQR.
