Medical - Mathematics & Statistics / heel dressings

Spanish term or phrase: Valor que tiene por debajo de él al 75%

Good morning

I would be grateful for some help with this phrase. Statistics is not my strong point.

This involves a box and tree diagram showing the performance of heel pads used in the treatment of pressure ulcers in extreme cases of use...

You can find the diagram here (it is the first one, bottom left of the page):

[tiny, I know, but it will give an idea of the diagram I am dealing with:)]

Percentil 75
Valor que tiene por debajo de él al 75% de los valores medidos

Mediana
Valor que tiene por debajo de él al 50% de los valores medidos

Percentil 25
Valor que tiene por debajo de él al 25% de los valores medidos

My attempt:

75th percentile
Value under which there are 75% of the measured values
MEDIAN
Value under which there are 50% of the measured values
25th percentile
Value under which there are 25% of the measured values

Thank you!
