If i were to write a plot of a story, am I supposed to include the ending/resolution?

The plot includes the ending. However, why you are writing the plot determines whether or not you should include the resolution.
If you're writing a report for school, include the ending. Your teacher will be expecting it, and should already know the ending. To not include it might make it seem as though you didn't finish reading or didn't understand what happened, which isn't something you would want.
If you're writing a review of a book, however (not a critical review, but one for a magazine, newspaper, or even amazon.com), most people will not want to know the ending before reading the book.
Hope this helped!

The plot must include the ending, even if the ending is open or suspended. If there was no ending, you wouldn't have a complete plot to outline.

Yes it needs to be resolved. That is not to say that it wouldn't possibly change as you really write the story.

You should. Having a solid ending is as important as having a solid beginning.

I should think it is quite an important factor yes.
