Answer:

51

Explanation:

1. The median of a data set is the quantity that's in the middle of the data points. Before looking what number is in the middle, you have to order them from least to greatest.

  • 15, 33, 51, 51, 75

2. Now, when crossing from left to right then left to right again, you end up with 51 in the middle.

Therefore, the median number is 51.
