Dot Plot:

  • Description: Represents each data point with a dot on a number line.
  • Advantages: Simple, suitable for small datasets, and provides a quick visual summary.
  • Limitations: Less effective for larger datasets, displays one variable at a time.

Stem-and-Leaf Plot:

  • Description: Break down each data point into a stem (leading digits) and leaf (trailing digit).
  • Advantages: Handles larger datasets, preserves individual data values, and shows overall distribution.
  • Limitations:Β It can be complex for those unfamiliar with the format.

Choosing:

  • Dot Plot: Small datasets, simplicity.
  • Stem-and-Leaf Plot: Larger datasets, detailed display of individual values.
