Answer:

15

Explanation:

The first 15 odd numbers are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29

The formula to find the median of a set of numbers is:

Median = [(n + 1) / 2]th term

where n is the total number of terms in the set.

In this case, we have 15 terms in the set of the first 15 odd numbers. So, substituting n = 15 in the formula, we get:

Median = [(15 + 1) / 2]th term

Median = 8th term

To find the 8th term, we can simply list the first 15 odd numbers in ascending order and count 8 numbers from the beginning of the list. The 8th term is 15.

Therefore, using the formula, we get:

Median = 8th term = 15.

So, the median of the first 15 odd numbers is 15.
