Abstract: Let $ K$ be a fixed number field, and assume that $ K$ is Galois over $ \mathbb{Q}$. Previously, the author showed that when estimating the number of prime ideals with norm congruent to $ a$ modulo $ q$ via the Chebotarëv Density Theorem, the mean square error in the approximation is small when averaging over all $ q\le Q$ and all appropriate $ a$. In this article, we replace the upper bound by an asymptotic formula. The result is related to the classical Barban-Davenport-Halberstam Theorem in the case $ K=\mathbb{Q}$.
