Answer

The difference between the average numbers of awakenings during the night for 18-year-old men and 18-year-old women, as observed from the graph, is $1.1$.

Work Step by Step

We can observe from the given line graph, that for men at the age of 18 years, the average number of awakenings during the night is $2.9$. Similarly, it can be seen from the graph that for women, at the age of 18 years, the average number of awakenings during the night is $1.8$. Thus, the difference between the average numbers of awakenings during the night for 18-year-old men and 18-year-old women will be: $2.9-1.8=1.1$.
