Here clearly the data is not symmetrical as the very large dosage is expected to have a really high amount of drug dosage thus the data is somewhat positively skewed. And we know that for skewed data the median is the best measure to describe the location. So here the median would be best measure of position.
Top quartile means top 25% of the data. Here the total number of mice are 40 so top quartile consists of (40*25%) = 10 mice. Now 40% of them survived so (10*40%) = 4 mice survived.
The percentile would give us what percent of the mice are in that category. So in this example it will pin point the information we are looking for.
The quartile is somewhat similar to percentile. The percentile divides the whole group into 100 equal parts and the quartiles into 4 equal parts. So quartiles would give the 25 percentiles information.
The standard score will give us the relative measures. It will give enough information to compare to different scores by standardizing them.
