Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the median hair length, we first need to put the data in order from least to greatest:

8, 10, 11, 11, 12.5, 12.5, 13, 14, 14, 14.1, 26

Since there are 11 numbers in the set, the median will be the middle number, which is the 6th number when they are in order.

The 6th number is 12.5, so the median hair length is 12.5 inches.
