A prime number is a number greater than one and can only be divided by 1 and itself. The result is always a whole number, i.e. no fractions, decimals, remainders. 

<span>Example: </span>
<span>2 can only be divided by 1 and itself </span>
<span>3 can only be divided by 1 and itself. </span>

<span>4 however, can be divided by 1 or 2 or itself </span>

<span>1 is not a prime number since it is not greater than one.</span>

Prime numbers are positive integers that cannot be factored. Meaning it cannot be divided by any other number but 1 and itself.

For example:
2 is a prime number. It can only be divided by 1 and 2.
4 is not a prime number. Because it can be divided by 1, 2, and 4.

Take note: prime numbers are POSITIVE integers only.

Additional information about prime numbers:
* The only even prime number is 2. The rest even number are not prime numbers because it can be divided by 2.
* zero and 1 are not considered prime numbers
* numbers that are not prime numbers are called composite numbers.

Answer:

Mean: 8,75

Median: 7,5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Mean

To find the mean data you have to put data all set in order:

3, 4, 6, 6, 9, 12, 15, 15

Then, all of the numbers in the data set added together and then divided by how many numbers in the data that already put in order:

3 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 15 = 70

There are 8 numbers in the data so divide 70 by 8:

70 ÷ 8 = 8,75

----

To find Median

The median is in the middle number of the data that already in order. Which is number 6 and 9.

Median = (6 + 9) ÷ 2

Median = 15 : 2

Median = 7,5
