The categories in a dot plot is represented on the x-axis, and the number of dots on each category represents the frequency value belonging to each category, hence the statement is TRUE.

  • Dotplots are graphical representation of the number of values or responses belonging to each category of the data represented with dots.

  • Each dot represents a single response or frequency value.

  • For instance, a category having 3 dots means that the category has 3 responses ; Also, a category with 5 dots has 5 responses and so on.

Therefore, the Number of responses on a particular category marks the number or frequency of responses in the category.
