Remove or hide the special Y-axis label

I have generated some sample data. These are probabilities. My problem with the graphics is that 1.01 is displayed on the Y-axis. But there is no probability that is 1.01. Nevertheless I would like to have this free place. Because if the scaling only goes to 1, then the dots are right at the bottom of the graph, which does not look that good.
Here is my code example:
clear all
clc
x = 2:1:7
y = [1 0.945312500000000 0.961318969726563 0.999182315543294 0.996585680786799 0.999999999320726]
plot(x,y,'o','MarkerSize',5,...
'MarkerEdgeColor','b',...
'MarkerFaceColor','c')
axis([0 8 0.94 1.01])
grid on

Change your axis call to:
axis([0 8 0.94 1])
That should do what you want.

Your 'XTick' values only go from 0 to 8 since you coded them as such. However if you want to use [0 3 6 9], this will plot part of them:
xtix = [0 3 6 9];
set(gca, 'YTick',yt(1:end-1), 'YTickLabel',sprintfc('%.2f',yt(1:end-1)), 'XTick',xtix)
Otherwise, do the same as I did with the 'YTick' and 'YTickLabel' variables to put and name the x-ticks as you like, or change your axis call to go from 0 to 9 on the x-axis.

FYI as of release R2016b there are functions xticks, xticklabels, and xtickformat (as well as the corresponding Y and Z axis versions) to help make this type of customization task easier.
