Median is the 50th percentile, so this is spot on.

I feel like this is a trick question. While the percentile line might indicate the median, I wonder if there's a more direct way to highlight employees above it.

I’m a bit confused. Does a percentile line actually show the median, or is it just a way to visualize the distribution?

I remember a practice question where we had to use reference lines, and I think this is similar. Setting it to 50% sounds correct for the median.

I think creating a percentile line at 50% should show the median, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right way to indicate it on the chart.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Does the question mean I need to create a reference line at the median salary, or do I need to somehow highlight the employees who are above the median? I want to make sure I understand the goal correctly before I start working on this.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to use the Salary measure and set the percentile to 50%. That will give me the median salary, which I can then use as a reference line to identify the employees above the median.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know how to create reference lines, but I'm not familiar with the percentile function. I'll need to double-check the documentation to make sure I'm using the right approach.

I think this is a straightforward question. Creating a percentile line at the 50th percentile should give me the median salary, which is exactly what the question is asking for.
