Explanation:

Step1: Define prime numbers

Prime numbers have only two factors (1 and itself).

Step2: Find prime - factorization of 48

We start by dividing 48 by the smallest prime number 2. $48\div2 = 24$, $24\div2=12$, $12\div2 = 6$, $6\div2=3$. So, $48=2\times2\times2\times2\times3$.

Step3: Find the median of the data - set

First, order the data - set: 10, 10, 10, 24, 24, 24, 62, 62, 62, 62. There are $n = 10$ data points. The median for an even - numbered data set is the average of the $\frac{n}{2}$th and $(\frac{n}{2}+1)$th ordered values. $\frac{n}{2}=5$ and $\frac{n}{2}+1 = 6$. The 5th value is 24 and the 6th value is 24. The median is $\frac{24 + 24}{2}=24$.

Answer:

1. Are numbers that have only two factors (1 and itself.)
2. $2\times2\times2\times2\times3$
3. 24
