Math Problem Statement

Construct a dotplot for the following data. 5.22 5.15 5.02 4.94 5.10 4.81 4.88 5.25 4.95 5.03

Solution

Here is the dotplot for the given data set. Each dot represents one occurrence of a data value along the horizontal axis.

Would you like any further details or explanations on how this dotplot was constructed?

Here are five related questions to expand on the concept:

  1. How does a dotplot compare to a histogram in terms of data representation?
  2. Can a dotplot effectively represent large data sets? Why or why not?
  3. How can you handle overlapping values in a dotplot for a larger dataset?
  4. What are other visual tools to represent the distribution of data?
  5. How do you calculate the mean and median from a dotplot?

Tip: Dotplots are particularly useful for small datasets where individual data points are important to highlight.
