Answer:

133

Explanation:

for that we need to sort the numbers :

124,126,128,132,132,134,134,134,142,146

the median is the number, for which half of the other numbers are smaller, and the other half of the other numbers is larger.

as we have 10 numbers, there is no such single middle number.

instead, we take the 2 middle numbers and calculate their mean value. that is then the median.

the 2 middle numbers are based on our sorted list above

132, 134

the mean value is

(132 + 134)/2 = 133

and that is then the median.
