The dot plots show the ages, in years, of people watching two movies at a local theater. Find the range of the ages of the people who watched each movie.

The range age of the people who watched Movie 1 is __.
The range age of the people who watched Movie 2 is __.

Answer 1

To find the range of ages for the two movies, we need to identify the minimum and maximum ages for each movie from the provided data.

For Movie 1:

• The ages listed are from 17 to 43 years.
• The minimum age is 17, and the maximum age is 43.

To calculate the range: \[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum Age} - \text{Minimum Age} = 43 - 17 = 26 \]

For Movie 2:

• The ages listed are from 24 to 50 years.
• The minimum age is 24, and the maximum age is 50.

To calculate the range: \[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum Age} - \text{Minimum Age} = 50 - 24 = 26 \]

Thus, the ranges are:

• The range of the ages of the people who watched Movie 1 is 26.
• The range of the ages of the people who watched Movie 2 is 26.
