which of the following are features of a dot plot?
□ one dot for each observation.
□ dots \piled up\ for observations very close together.
□ a horizontal line indicating the possible values of the data.
□ a line connecting the dots that represent individual observations.

Explanation:

• For a dot plot:
• "One dot for each observation" is a key feature, as each dot represents a single data point (observation).
• When observations are very close in value, dots are "piled up" to show frequency.
• A horizontal line (the axis) indicates the possible values of the data, along which dots are placed.
• A line connecting dots is not a feature of a dot plot; dot plots use individual dots, not connected lines.

Answer:

A. One dot for each observation.
B. Dots "piled up" for observations very close together.
C. A horizontal line indicating the possible values of the data.
