Solution

The correct option is A 29
Median is the middle value of a numerically ordered data set.

Arranging the population in ascending order, we get:
25, 26, 28, 30, 30, 32

Since the total number of data points is even, the median is the mean of the two central values of the data set arranged in ascending order.

Thus, median = 28+302 = 29
