Is it possible for the median to be larger than the third quartile?

No, it is not possible for the median to be larger than the third quartile. The median, which represents the middle value of a dataset, divides the data into two equal halves, while the third quartile (Q3) marks the 75th percentile, indicating that 75% of the data falls below it. By definition, the median will always be less than or equal to the third quartile in a sorted dataset.
