[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

a. The median is the middle value when the data is ordered from least to greatest. In this case, there are 25 data points (participants), so the median would be the 13th data point. By looking at the line plot, the 13th data point corresponds to 8 pints.

b. By counting the number of data points on the line plot, there are 25 participants in the contest. Therefore, the correct response is 8 pints; 13 people.
