Question

Twenty-five students were asked to rate—on a scale of 0 to 10—how important it is to reduce pollution. A rating of 0 means “not at all important” and a rating of 10 means “very important.” Here is a dot plot of their responses. Explain why a rating of 6 is not a good description of the center of this data set.

Answer 1

Considering the dot plot, we have that only 7 of the 25 measures are ratings of at most 6, that is, 6 is less than both the mean and the median of the distribution, hence it is not a good description of the center of this data set.

What is a dot plot?

A dot plot is a graph shows the number of times each measure appears in the data-set.

From the plot given in this exercise, it is found that only 7 of the 25 measures are ratings of at most 6, that is, 6 is less than both the mean and the median of the distribution, hence it is not a good description of the center of this data set.
