I don’t see a box plot image — could you upload it or paste the five-number summaries (min, Q1, median, Q3, max) for each plot?
If you mean “longer” in general, here are the ways to compare box plots and what each measure means:
- Box length (IQR): Q3 − Q1. This measures spread of the middle 50% of the data. If you want which box is “longer” in terms of variability around the middle, compare IQRs.
- Whole-plot length (range): max − min. This measures total spread (including extremes). If outliers are shown, be careful: whiskers typically end at the most extreme non-outlier; outliers are plotted separately.
- Whisker length: length from Q1 to lower whisker or Q3 to upper whisker. If you mean which plot has longer whiskers, compare these distances.
- Visual caveats: make sure both plots use the same axis scale and orientation (horizontal vs vertical). If scales differ or one axis is zoomed, apparent length can be misleading.
If you upload the image or give the five-number summaries, I’ll tell you exactly which is longer and by how much.
