ASSIGNED BY : DR. AMJAD ALI ARAIN
DEFINITION OF DOT PLOT
A dot plot is a two-dimensional graphical display of
objects, showing some quantitative characteristic of
those objects.
One axis of the dot plot (usually the horizontal) is
a scale covering the range of quantitative values to
be potted. The other axis(usually the vertical) show
descriptive labels that are associated with each of
the numeric values.
CREATING A DOT PLOT
Draw a number line( horizontal axis) to cover
range from smallest to largest data value.
For each observation, place a dot above the
number line located at the observation's data value.
When multiple observations with the same value,
dots are stacked vertically.

TYPES OF GRAPHS
DOT PLOT
Small Sets Of Data.
Numerical & Categorical.
Display Clusters/Gaps & Outliers.
Count to find frequency.
Hard to construct & interpret.

COMPARING TWO DOT PLOTS
Misbah and Faiza compared how many movies they
watched per month of a year.
The two dot plot show each set of data .
# OF MOVIES WATCHED/MONTH (MISBAH) # OF MOVIES WATCHED/MONTH (FAIZA)
Comparasion of two Dot Plots.
Misbah’s dot plot is more spread out than Faiza’s. She has more low values,
but also has some high numbers. Faiza’s dot plot is symmetrical.
