Given that

We have to find the 50th percentile of the first seven prime numbers.

Explanation -

The first 7 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17

We have to find the 50th percentile of this data and the meaning of the 50th percentile is Median.

So we have to find the Median of this data.

The formula of the median is


\begin{gathered} Median=((n+1))/(2)th\text{ term --------------------if n= odd number} \\ where\text{ n = total number of terms} \end{gathered}

Here the value of n is 7. On substituting we have


\begin{gathered} Median=(7+1)/(2)th\text{ term = }(8)/(2)\text{th term = 4th term} \\ Hence\text{ the median is 7} \end{gathered}

Final answer -

Hence the final answer is 7.
