Find the median of the first ten prime numbers.

Find the median of the first ten prime numbers. Correct Answer 12

Given

First ten prime number 

First ten prime numbers = 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, and 29

Concept 

Median of data depends on the number of observations (n)

If number of observation is odd then 

Median = Value of th observation 

If number of observation is even then

Median = (1/2) × value of observation

Calculation

First ten prime numbers = 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, and 29, 

Here number of observation = 10 (even number)

So here we use median of even observation

⇒ Median = (1/2) ×  

⇒ Median = (1/2) ×

⇒ Median = (1/2) ×

⇒ Median = 24/2 

⇒ Median = 12

∴ Median = 12
