Question

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}

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the median, we first need to put the data in numerical order:

{8, 10, 11, 11, 11.4, 12.3, 12.5, 12.5, 13, 14, 14, 14.1, 26}

Since there are 13 numbers, the median is the middle number when the data is ordered. In this case, the median is the 7th number, which is 12.5.

Therefore, the median hair length is 12.5 inches.
