Dot Plots
A Dot Chart or Dot Plot is a statistical chart consisting of data points plotted on a fairly simple scale, typically using filled in circles.
They are useful for highlighting clusters and gaps, as well as outliers (points that lie on the outside).
To draw a dot plot, count the number of data points falling into a certain category. Using a suitable scale, next neatly draw a stack of dots falling into that category directly on top of each another. Repeat the process for other categories.
The distribution of dots on a dot plot can also be described as ‘even‘, ‘skewed to the left’ or ‘skewed to the right‘.
An example of a dot plot showing hours spent on homework per week is shown below.
