Answer:

75% of the numbers lie below or on the third quartile, and the remaining 25% lie on or above it.

Step-by-step explanation:

In any data set, if arranged in ascending order, the mid value gives the median.

If there are even number of entries, the middle value of the mid two entries average would be the median.

I quartile is the entry below which 25% of the entries lie and III quartile is one above which 25% of the entries will lie

Hence out of 4 options given

the last one is the correct answer

75% of the numbers lie below or on the third quartile, and the remaining 25% lie on or above it.
