Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The x-axis typically represents the range of scores or values being measured, and each data point is plotted above its corresponding value on the x-axis. The y-axis is usually used for a different type of measurement or to indicate frequency, so it would not make sense to use it for a dot plot of all the data points. Variance is a measure of how spread out the data is, and it would not be plotted directly on the dot plot. The line of best fit is used to show the trend or relationship between two variables, and it would not be used in a dot plot of a single set of data.
