• A line of dots drawn on a page.

• A line of dots created by pulling ticker tape through a device that makes impressions on the tape at regular intervals. It represents the motion of the object that pulled the tape.

• A line of dots created by pulling ticker tape through a device that makes impressions on the tape at regular intervals. The dots are random and cannot be analyzed.

• A line of dots created by a machine that puts dots on tape at positions of your choice.

• A diagram of a piece of ticker tape.
