Answer Text:
Factors considered when constructing a dot map.
Dot value:
-It’s importance is to represent the actual number of items or phenomena in a given area.
-Also helps to determine the number of dots to be placed on a map. E.g how many goats.
-Wrong dot value can lead to wrong impression regarding distribution of a phenomena.
-A low dot-value will lead to many dots on a map as well as a high dot value (few dots ) which will give an equal wrong impression. E.g. 1 dot rep 1000 cattle.
