Answers to Comparing Data Distributions Practice
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.
A: The median age of the people who watched Movie 1 is 25.5.
The median age of the people who watched Movie 2 is 37.

Two number lines extend from 0 to 6 in increments of 1 and are labeled as Times Pizza Eaten Last Month, City A, and Times Pizza Eaten Last Month, City B. The number lines show an abacus-like representation with columns of open circles over the numbers. Above the number line labeled as Times Pizza Eaten Last Month, City A, there are three circles over 0, five circles over 1, four circles over 2, two circles over 3, one circle over 4, four circles over 5, and two circles over 6. Above the number line labeled as Times Pizza Eaten Last Month, City B, there are three circles over 0, three circles over 1, three circles over 2, four circles over 3, three circles over 4, four circles over 5, and two circles over 6.
