(b) Study Table 1 which shows data a student collected during fieldwork in a coastal landscape.
Table 1 Results of a litter survey in a coastal National Park
1 m by 1 m quadrats were used to survey litter across a 12 m transect of a beach.
Readings were taken every 2 m.
Distance from start 2m 4m 6m 8m 10 m 12 m
Plastic waste (%) 10 1 25 45 30 5
Paper waste (%) 50 0 30 5 15 0
Other waste (%) 0 5 10 5 20 5
No litter (%) 40 94 35 45 35 90
(i) Using Table 1, calculate the median for the percentage of plastic waste. [2]
