The data det ordered from the smallest to the largest value is:

3.1 ,3.71 ,3.71 ,3.74 ,3.98 ,3.98 ,4.15 ,4.16 ,4.16 ,4.32 ,4.34 ,4.51 ,4.51 ,4.56 ,4.57 ,4.57 ,4.57 ,4.61 ,4.62 ,4.63 ,4.64 ,4.64 ,4.64 ,4.64 ,4.86 ,4.96 ,5.04 ,5.11 ,5.12 ,5.37 ,5.37 ,5.38 ,5.39 ,5.47 ,5.48 ,5.62, 5.65 ,5.65 ,5.7

If we are interesed on the sample values below 5.0 we need to count how many values are below this number. If we do this we got that 26 numbers are below 5.0 and the total of numbers are 39.

so the proportion on this case would be"
