Dot Plot Worksheets

What is a Dot Plot

A box plot is a visual way of recording data values.

Dot plots are useful for displaying small amounts of data in discrete bins (categories).

The dot plot above, shows the number of goals scored by a soccer team in the matches they played.

Using a dot plot, we can also work out:

  • the range of the data set by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value;
  • In the example above the range of goals scored is 6 - 0 = 6 goals.
  • the median can be found by working out the number of data points and then finding the middle one;
  • In the example above, there are 15 matches played in total. The middle match is the 8th. The number of goals scored in this match was 3.
  • the mean can be found by adding up all the values and dividing by the number of values.
  • In the example above, the total goals scored is 0 + 1x2 + 2x4 + 3x3 + 4x1 + 5x2 + 6x2 = 45. The number of matches is 15. So the mean is 45 ÷ 15 = 3 goals per match.
