Create Dot Plots

A dot plot is a simple yet effective way to visualize the distribution of a dataset, especially for small to moderate-sized sets of numerical data. It shows individual data points plotted along a number line, making it easy to see the frequency and spread of values.

Steps to Create a Dot Plot

1. Collect and Organize Data:
   Gather the data you want to visualize.
2. Draw a Number Line:
   Draw a horizontal line and mark it with evenly spaced intervals covering the range of your data values.
3. Plot the Data Points:
   For each data point in your dataset, place a dot above the corresponding value on the number line.
   If a value appears multiple times, stack the dots vertically above that value.
