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)
The median age of the people who watched Movie 1 is
.
The median age of the people who watched Movie 2 is
.
To find the median age, we need to find the middle value in each set of dot plots.
For Movie 1, we count a total of 15 dots. Since this is an odd number, the middle value is the 8th value. Looking at the dot plot, the 8th value is 29. Therefore, the median age for Movie 1 is 29.
For Movie 2, we count a total of 17 dots. Again, this is an odd number, so the middle value is the 9th value. From the dot plot, we can see that the 9th value is 35. Therefore, the median age for Movie 2 is 35.
