It would be useful if you would post a bit more code and state what you mean by "failed". Assuming, the variables y1 etc. have assigned values, you should have seen a plot with six data points. Here us something similar to your description that results in a plot data = {{1, #} & /@ RandomReal[NormalDistribution[1, 1], 3], {2, #} & /@ RandomReal[NormalDistribution[2, 1], 3]}; ListPlot[data, Frame -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic] I've done two things to make the data more visible. Create a =46rame to prevent the default vertical axis from hiding the points with an x location of 1 and specified PlotMarkers->Automatic to increase the size of the plotted points from the default.
