Find the median of the first 10 prime numbers.

  • A.11
  • B.12
  • C.13
  • D.11.5

Answer: B

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

Since there are 10 numbers (an even count), the median is the average of the two middle numbers (the 5th and 6th).

5th number = 11.

6th number = 13.

Median = \(\frac{11+13}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12\).
