Solution Steps

Step 1: Arrange the data in ascending order

The given data is already arranged in ascending order:
\(10, 14, 25, 25, 27, 31, 36, 38, 41, 53\).

Step 2: Determine the number of data points

There are \(10\) data points in the dataset.

Step 3: Calculate the median

Since the number of data points is even (\(10\)), the median is the average of the \(5^{th}\) and \(6^{th}\) values.
The \(5^{th}\) value is \(27\) and the \(6^{th}\) value is \(31\).
Thus, the median is:
\[ \text{Median} = \frac{27 + 31}{2} = 29. \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{29}\)
