Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The third quartile (Q3, or the upper quartile) is the 75th percentile, meaning that 75% of the data falls below the third quartile.
Detailed explanation-2: -Centiles/percentiles are descriptions of quantiles relative to 100; so the 75th percentile (upper quartile) is 75% or three quarters of the way up an ascending list of sorted values of a sample. The 25th percentile (lower quartile) is one quarter of the way up this rank order.
Detailed explanation-3: -Q2 (the median) is the 50th percentile and shows that 50% of the scores are less than 75, and 50% of the scores are above 75. Finally, Q3, the 75th percentile, reveals that 25% of the scores are greater and 75% are less than 84.
