    Group A:1 dot at 9: 1 x 9 = 97 dots at 10: 7 x 10 = 708 dots at 15: 8 x 15 = 1208 dots at 17: 8 x 17 = 1366 dots at 19: 6 x 19 = 114

    Mean: (9+70+120+136+114) / (1+7+8+8+6) = 449/30 = 14.97

    Group B:6 dots at 10: 6 x 10 = 605 dots at 14: 5 x 14 = 706 dots at 18: 6 x 18 = 1085 dots at 25: 5 x 25 = 1254 dots at 28: 4 x 28 = 1124 dots at 29: 4 x 29 = 116

    mean: (60+70+108+125+112+116) / (6+5+6+5+4+4) = 591 / 30 = 19.70

    The group that has a lower mean age of painting students is Group A. Its mean is 14.97 or 15 years of age.
