To find the median age, we need to arrange the ages in ascending order.
The ages in the stem-and-leaf plot are as follows:
28, 31, 32, 34, 42, 47, 49, 54
To find the median, we need to find the middle value. Since there are 8 ages in total, the middle value is the 4th value.
Thus, the median age is 34 years.
