What is the average of the first 10 prime numbers?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 12.9.

We know that,

Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations

Now,

Sum of first 10 prime numbers = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 = 129

Required average = 129/10 = 12.9
