Concepts

A dot plot places one dot above each data value on a number
line, stacking duplicates. What is true about a dot plot that is
NOT true about a histogram of the same data?

Every individual data value can be read back from a dot plot; a histogram only gives counts per bin.

A dot plot can display thousands of data points more easily than a histogram.

A dot plot doesn't need a number-line axis.

A dot plot shows percentages instead of counts.
