To compare \( 2.5 \times 10^{-2} \) and \( 0.025 \), we need to express them both in the same form.

First, let's convert \( 2.5 \times 10^{-2} \):

\[
2.5 \times 10^{-2} = 2.5 \times 0.01 = 0.025
\]

Now, we can see that both values are equal:

\[
2.5 \times 10^{-2} = 0.025
\]

So, the comparison symbol is \( = \).
