Question
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 modal age of the people who watched each movie.

The modal age of the people who watched Movie 1 is
.
The modal age of the people who watched Movie 2 is
.
The mode refers to the value that appears most frequently in a set of data. Looking at the dot plots for Movie 1, we can see that the dot above 23 appears twice, which is the most frequent value. Therefore, the modal age of the people who watched Movie 1 is 23.
For Movie 2, the dot above 37 appears twice and is the most frequent value. Therefore, the modal age of the people who watched Movie 2 is 37.
