Identify Order: Identify the ascending order of the given data set.We need to arrange the data points from least to greatest to find the median.Data set in ascending order: 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.35, 0.45
Find Median: Find the median of the numbers.Since there are 5 data points, the median will be the middle number after arranging the data in ascending order.The middle number is the third number, which is 0.3.
Verify Median: Verify the median.To ensure there is no math error, we can count the numbers again to confirm that 0.3 is indeed the middle number.There are two numbers before 0.3 (0.15 and 0.2) and two numbers after 0.3 (0.35 and 0.45), confirming that 0.3 is the median.
