13.5 hours.

To find the median, we must first order the list of numbers from least to greatest. Once the list is ordered, we then find the middle number. In this case, the middle number is the average of the 8th and 9th numbers in the ordered list, which are 15 and 17. Therefore, the median is (15 + 17) / 2 = 16 hours.
