Notes

In this lesson, we will learn:

  • Analyze the Frequency Table
  • Understand the Dot Plot
  • Convert a Frequency Table Into a Dot Plot

  • Frequency table: a table showing the data values and their corresponding frequencies.
  • Dot plot: a simplified version of a histogram. Each dot represents a value in that particular category.
  • Dot plots are not the same as scatter plots:
    • Scatter plots have a set of axes whilst dot plots do not.
    • Each dot in a dot plot has a value of 1. As for a scatter plot, we need to refer to the axis for the value of a dot.
