Question

The median of first ten prime numbers is

• A. 12
• B. 13
• C. 11
• D. None of these

Hint:

When finding the median of an even number of values, take the average of the two middle values.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The first ten prime numbers are: \[ 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 \] The median is the middle value when numbers are ordered. With 10 numbers, the median is the average of the 5th and 6th numbers: \[ \text{Median} = \frac{11 + 13}{2} = 12 \] Therefore, the answer is 12.
