Answer 1

The median for the students is 2 and the median for the teachers is 3.

Explanation:

We can find the median by writing the numbers represented in each dot plot in order.

For the students,

0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4

The middle value is between 2 and 2; this makes it 2.

For the teachers,

0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8

The middle value is between 3 and 3; this makes it 3.

This means the second choice is correct.
