To determine the median ounces of water consumed by the girls on the basketball team and the soccer team, we need to analyze the data provided in the dot plots.
### Basketball Team:
The water consumption amounts, based on dot placements, are as follows:
- 8 ounces: 1 dot (1)
- 16 ounces: 1 dot (1)
- 24 ounces: 2 dots (2)
- 32 ounces: 3 dots (3)
- 48 ounces: 4 dots (4)
- 64 ounces: 1 dot (1)
Now, let's list all the amounts in order:
- 8, 16, 24, 24, 32, 32, 32, 48, 48, 48, 48, 64
Total number of values = 12
To find the median, we take the middle two numbers since 12 is even:
- The 6th and 7th numbers in the ordered list are both 32.
**Median of the Basketball Team = (32 + 32) / 2 = 32.**
### Soccer Team:
The water consumption amounts are as follows:
- 32 ounces: 1 dot (1)
- 48 ounces: 1 dot (1)
- 64 ounces: 2 dots (2)
- 72 ounces: 2 dots (2)
- 80 ounces: 4 dots (4)
- 88 ounces: 1 dot (1)
- 96 ounces: 1 dot (1)
Now, let's list all the amounts in order:
- 32, 48, 64, 64, 72, 72, 80, 80, 80, 80, 88, 96
Total number of values = 12
To find the median, we take the middle two numbers since 12 is even:
- The 6th and 7th numbers in the ordered list are 72 and 80.
**Median of the Soccer Team = (72 + 80) / 2 = 76.**
### Final Statement Completion:
Now we can complete the statement:
The median ounces of water drank on the basketball team was about **32 ounces**, **less than** the median ounces of water drank on the soccer team (76 ounces).
Thus, the completed statement is:
The median ounces of water drank on the basketball team was about **32 ounces, less than** the median ounces of water drank on the soccer team.

The water consumption amounts are as follows:
- 32 ounces: 1 dot (1)
- 48 ounces: 1 dot (1)
- 64 ounces: 2 dots (2)
- 72 ounces: 2 dots (2)
- 80 ounces: 4 dots (4)
- 88 ounces: 1 dot (1)
- 96 ounces: 1 dot (1)
Now, let's list all the amounts in order:
- 32, 48, 64, 64, 72, 72, 80, 80, 80, 80, 88, 96
Total number of values = 12
