Answer:

53.5

Explanation:

First, set the numbers out as a data set:

{51 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 54 , 54 , 55}

The median is the number that is found in the middle of the set. In this case, there are 8 numbers, and the middle numbers are 53 & 54. Find the mean of the numbers:

(53 + 54)/2 = (107)/2 = 53.5

53.5 is your answer.
