1 Answer
Yes: If there are outliers in the data set, they should be included in the box plot.

NOTE : An outlier is not a minimum or maximum. If an outlier is the lowest point, then the 2nd lowest point will become the minimum. If an outlier is the highest point, then the 2nd highest point will become the maximum.
