To determine the median ounces of water consumed by both the basketball and soccer teams, let's first extract the relevant data from the given dot plots.
### Basketball Team Data
- 1 dot at 16 ounces
- 3 dots at 24 ounces
- 3 dots at 32 ounces
- 3 dots at 40 ounces
- 4 dots at 48 ounces
- 2 dots at 56 ounces
**Data List for Basketball Team**:
16, 24, 24, 24, 32, 32, 32, 40, 40, 40, 48, 48, 48, 48, 56, 56
To find the median:
1. Count the number of values: There are 16 values.
2. The median will be the average of the 8th and 9th values.
3. The ordered list is:
- 16, 24, 24, 24, 32, 32, 32, **40**, **40**, 48, 48, 48, 48, 56, 56
4. The 8th and 9th values are both 40.
**Median of Basketball Team**: **40 ounces**
### Soccer Team Data
- 2 dots at 64 ounces
- 6 dots at 72 ounces
- 4 dots at 80 ounces
- 3 dots at 88 ounces
- 1 dot at 96 ounces

64, 64, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 80, 80, 80, 88, 88, 88, 96
To find the median:
1. Count the number of values: There are 15 values.
2. The median will be the 8th value.
3. The ordered list is:
- 64, 64, **72**, **72**, **72**, **72**, **72**, **72**, 80, 80, 80, 88, 88, 88, 96
4. The 8th value is 72.
**Median of Soccer Team**: **72 ounces**
