This is an interactive dot plot designed to help build understanding of various measures/statistics.
You can click/touch a dot to drag it on and off the dot plot (by moving it to above or below the plot), or move the dot around the dot plot to a different position, and see how the different measures/statistics change :-)
Note: This interactive is not (yet) designed to be used with small screens e.g mobile devices.
