    A dot plot, also called a dot chart, is a type of simple histogram-like chart used in statistics for relatively small data sets where values fall into a number of discrete bins. To draw a dot plot, count the number of data points falling in each bin and draw a stack of dots that number high for each bin. The illustration above shows such a plot for a random sample of 100 integers chosen between 1 and 25 inclusively.
