Georgina claims that the median is the best measure of center for this set of data she collected on hair length of her friends (in inches.) What is the median hair length? Write your answer in decimal form. {10,26,14,12.5,13,11,12.5,14.1,11,8,14,12.3,11.4} (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the median hair length, we first need to put the data in order from least to greatest:
{8, 10, 11, 11, 11.4, 12.3, 12.5, 12.5, 13, 14, 14, 14.1, 26}

Since there are 13 numbers in the set, the median will be the middle number when the data is ordered.

The middle number is the 7th number: 12.5

Therefore, the median hair length is 12.5 inches.
