Explanation:

Step1: Recall the properties of box - plot

In a box - plot, the median divides the data into two halves. The lower half (25% - 50%) and upper half (50% - 75%) are also divided. The value \(16\) is the median of the data set.

Step2: Calculate the percentage of data greater than the median

Since the median splits the data set into two equal parts. By the definition of the median in a data set (for a box - plot, the line inside the box is the median), 50% of the data lies above the median and 50% lies below the median.

Answer:

\(50\%\)
