Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two sets of dot plots. One is titled Movie 1 and the other is Movie 2. The plots are shown as an abacus-like representation with dots in a vertical row over each number on a number line. For Movie 1, a number line with arrows on both ends ranges from 17 to 43 in increments of 1. There is 1 dot above 17, 18, 21, 22, 25, 26, 28, 29, 32, 33, 35, 36, 38, 40, and 43. There are 2 dots above 23 and 3 dots above 20. For Movie 2, the number line ranges from 24 to 50 in increments of 1. There is 1 dot above 25, 28, 32, 35, 36, 42, 43, 45, 47, 48, and 50. There are 2 dots above 30, 34, and 37, and 3 dots above 40.
The dot plots show the ages, in years, of people watching two movies at a local theater. Find the median age of the people who watched each movie.
(1 point)
For Movie 1, we first need to determine the total number of people who watched the movie. By counting the dots, we find a total of 15 people. Since the median age is the middle value when the data is ordered from least to greatest, the median age for Movie 1 would be the 8th value when ordered from least to greatest, which is 29 years old.
For Movie 2, we count a total of 14 people who watched the movie. The median age for Movie 2 would be the 7th value when ordered from least to greatest, which is 36 years old.
