Answer 2

The statement is incorrect because the median of the first 10 composite numbers is 11.

Given,

First 10 Composite numbers → 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18

To Find,

Median of the first 10 Composite numbers

Solution,

First 10 Composite numbers → 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18

Number of terms = n = 10 (even)

Since the number of terms is even, the formula that will be used is given by -

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

(n/2)th term = 10/2 = 5th Term

(n/2)th term = 10 (By looking at the composite numbers arranged in increasing order)

(n/2 + 1)th term = 10/2 + 1 = 6th term

(n/2 + 1)th term = 12

Median = $\frac{10+12}{2}$

Median = $\frac{22}{2}$

Median = 11

Hence, the median of the first 10 composite numbers is 11.
