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.

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.
