Question

Draw any dotplot to show a dataset that is Clearly skewed to the left.

Short answer

A left-skewed or negatively skewed dotplot would have a long tail extending towards the left. Such a plot represents a dataset where a larger number of observations are clustered at the higher values and a fewer number of observations extend towards the lower values.

Step-by-step solution

Identify a scale

Establish a scale on the horizontal axis. Since no specific values are given, you can establish the scale as per your convenience.

Mark the observations

Start plotting the observations beginning from the right end of the scale and proceed towards the left. A larger number of dots should be grouped together at the higher end of the scale, with fewer dots extending towards the left.

Draw the plot

Draw a dot plot diagram with dots to represent the observations in the dataset. Arrange them appropriately as per the scale. Start on the side of a larger number of observations and progress towards less or fewer number of observations to create the left-skewness.
