In a 4/4 time signature, a dotted half note receives three beats. The dot adds half the value of the note (which is 2 beats for a half note), resulting in a total of 3 beats. Therefore, when played in a measure of 4/4, a dotted half note occupies the majority of the measure, leaving one beat remaining.
