Answer 1

The list of first 10 prime numbers is :
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29
number of observations, n = 10 [even]
$$\begin{gathered} median=\frac{valueof{\left[{\displaystyle \frac{n}{2}}\right]}^{th}observation+valueof{\left[{\displaystyle \frac{n}{2}}+1\right]}^{th}observation}{2} \\ =\frac{valueof{5}^{th}obs.+valueof{6}^{th}obs.}{2}=\frac{11+13}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12 \end{gathered}$$
