Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The distance between the 25th percentile and the median (50th percentile) is not always the same as the distance between the median and the 75th percentile. These distances depend on the distribution of the data, and while they are equal in a perfectly symmetrical distribution, they can differ in skewed distributions.
