D EFINITION A graph in which each data item is shown as a dot above a number line In a dot plot a cluster shows where a group of data points fall. A gap is an interval where there are no data items.
3
S TEPS TO C REATE A D OT P LOT 1. Order numbers from least to greatest. 2. Draw a number line. 3. Label the number line with the minimum and the maximum then all the numbers that fall between them. 4. Put a dot above each number on the number line for each data entry in your set. 5. Don’t forget a title and labels!

e.g. In an airline training program, the students are given a test in which they are given a set of tasks and the time it takes them to complete the tasks is measured. The following is a list of the time (in seconds) for a group of new trainees. 61, 61, 64, 67, 70, 71, 71, 71, 72, 73, 74, 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 81, 83 Display the data in a dot plot.
