Given that there was about 8500 distribution numbers. If the score of 26.7 was 35th percentile and 37.1 was 50th percentile, then how many distribution parameter numbers accounted for about 50 percentile of the distribution?

Not sure about the OA or even the completeness of the question. I am more interested in the approach than with the right answer. How do you approach this type of problem?

The question is completely meaningless (it's barely in English), and completely irrelevant to the GMAT.
