Question

find the median of first ten prime numbers.

Answer 1

the first 10 prime numbers are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29
n=10 (even)
median=(n/2 th observation+(n+1)/2 th observation)/2
            =(10/2 th observation+11/2 th observation)/2
             =(5 th observation+6 th observation)/2
              =(11+13)/2
                 =24/2
=12

Answer 2

Answer:

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

No. of observations = n = 10

Since the number of terms is even

Formula : $Median = \frac{\frac{n}{2}+(\frac{n}{2}+1)}{2}$

$Median = \frac{\frac{10}{2}+(\frac{10}{2}+1)}{2}$

$Median = 5.5$

Hence the median of first ten prime numbers is 5.5
