Question

Median is also known as the second quartile.

✓

Answer

Yes, I agree with the statement.

Median is the middlemost value in the arranged data.
It is the value that divides the series into two equal parts, so that the number of items above it, is equal to the number of items below it.
It is not affected by extreme values.
Median $=n / 2$ and $Q_2=2(n / 4)$ i.e $n / 2$
Therefore, the Median is equal to the second quartile.
