What is a dot plot?

Back

A dot plot is a simple way to display data using dots to represent the frequency of values in a dataset.

Front

How do you read a dot plot?

Back

To read a dot plot, count the number of dots above each value to determine how many times that value occurs.

Front

What does each dot represent in a dot plot?

Back

Each dot represents one occurrence of a value in the dataset.

Front

How can you find the mode using a dot plot?

Back

The mode is the value with the most dots above it in the dot plot.

Front

What is the purpose of a dot plot?

Back

The purpose of a dot plot is to provide a visual representation of data to easily see patterns, trends, and frequencies.

Front

How do you determine the total number of data points from a dot plot?

Back

To determine the total number of data points, count all the dots in the dot plot.

Front

What is the difference between a dot plot and a bar graph?

Back

A dot plot uses dots to represent individual data points, while a bar graph uses bars to show the frequency of data in intervals.

Front

How can you compare two sets of data using dot plots?

Back

You can compare two sets of data by placing their dot plots side by side and observing the differences in the number of dots.

Front

What does it mean if a dot plot has a peak?

Back

A peak in a dot plot indicates the mode, or the most frequently occurring value in the dataset.

Front

How can you find the range of a dataset using a dot plot?

Back

The range can be found by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value represented in the dot plot.
