A dot plot is a clear and concise graph that displays the distribution of a quantitative variable in a dataset. It shows the frequency of each value or range of values by placing a dot above the corresponding value on a number line. Runs plots and ogive plots are more complex and not as appropriate for summarizing simple datasets. Pie charts are best used for displaying parts of a whole, not quantitative data.
