#120#

Explanation:

Go ahead and cross out numbers from both ends leading up to the middle.

#cancel102, 108, 112, 120, 143, 149, cancel1150#

#cancel102, cancel108, 112, 120, 143, cancel149, cancel1150#

#cancel102, cancel108, cancel112, 120, cancel143, cancel149, cancel1150#

The median is the number left in the middle. In this case it would be #120#.

If there are two numbers in the middle, find the mean of those numbers (average).
