To find the median age of the people watching each movie, we need to identify the middle age when the ages are arranged in ascending order.
For Movie 1:
The median age is the age that falls in the middle when the ages are arranged in ascending order.
From the dot plot for Movie 1, we can see that there are a total of 10 data points.
When arranged in ascending order, the middle two ages are 22 and 23.
The average of these two ages will give us the median age for Movie 1.
(22 + 23) / 2 = 45 / 2 = 22.5
Therefore, the median age of the people who watched Movie 1 is 22.5 years.
For Movie 2:
The median age is the age that falls in the middle when the ages are arranged in ascending order.
From the dot plot for Movie 2, we can see that there are a total of 10 data points.
When arranged in ascending order, the middle two ages are 35 and 36.
The average of these two ages will give us the median age for Movie 2.
(35 + 36) / 2 = 71 / 2 = 35.5
Therefore, the median age of the people who watched Movie 2 is 35.5 years.
