Question

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

Short answer

A right-skewed dot plot for the given dataset (1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4) will have majority of the data represented by dots bunched up on the left side and few dots stretched out to the right side of the graph.

Step-by-step solution

Understand Right Skewness

A right-skewed distribution also known as positively skewed distribution mainly has the data points skewed or scattered to the left side. This means data points are concentrated on the left side of the graph and the tail is on the right side.

Define the Dataset

For this exercise, a simple hypothetical dataset can be composed with the following values: 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4. This dataset is positively skewed. The majority of the values are more concentrated towards the lower end (to the left).

Plot the Dotplot

The dotplot can be drawn on a number line that includes all the numbers of the dataset. Each data point is represented by a dot. The rule of plotting is that the dot corresponding to a lower value will be placed to the left of the dot corresponding to a higher value. With the given dataset, the values 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4 would be plotted with a concentration of dots towards the left side and few dots scattered to the right side, hence creating a positive or right skewness.
