$$P_{1}$$ is the average of all prime numbers below 12 and $$P_{2}$$ is the average of all prime numbers between 12 and 30. What is the value of $$5P_{1} - P_{2}$$?
$$P_{1}$$ is the average of all prime numbers below 12.
prime numbers below 12 ==> 2, 3, 5, 7, 11
Average =Â $$P_{1}$$ =Â $$\frac{2+3+5+7+11}{5}$$
= $$\frac{28}{5}$$
= 5.6
$$P_{2}$$ is the average of all prime numbers between 12 and 30.
prime numbers between 12 and 30 ==> 13, 17, 19, 23, 29
Average = $$P_{2}$$ = $$\frac{13+17+19+23+29}{5}$$
=Â $$\frac{101}{5}$$
= 20.2
Value of $$5P_{1} - P_{2}$$ =Â $$5\times5.6 - 20.2$$
=Â Â 28 - 20.2
= 7.8
