Question

The median of first 10 prime numbers is

Options

• 11

• 12

• 13

• 14

Answer 1

First 10 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29.

n = 10 (even)

Media`= ((n/2)^(th)"term" +(n/2 +1)^(th) "term")/2`

`=(5^(th) "term" +6^(th ) "term")/2`

`=(11 +13)/2`

`= 24/2`

`=12`

Hence, the correct option is (b).
