Yes, three-quarters of the artwork i.e.  \frac{3}{4}*8= 6  were designed in the 20th century.

Yes, if you arrange the year the artworks were created by male artists in ascending order (1920,1934,1936,  1974  ,1983,2006,2008)

Yes, one quarter of the work i.e.  \frac{1}{4}*8 =2  art works were created by Hispanic or Native Americans.

Official Explanation

RO1

Examining the Year created column shows that 6 of the 8 artworks were created in the 20th century, and 6 is three-quarters of 8.

The correct answer is Yes.

RO2

The median year that works by male artists were created can be found by sorting the table by Year created. Omit the work created in 1928 since it was created by a female artist. Seven works remain, so the median year is the date in the middle: 1974.

The correct answer is Yes.

RO3

Examining the Hispanic or Native American artist? column shows that 2 of the 8 artworks were created by Hispanic or Native American artists, and 2 is one-quarter of 8.

The correct answer is Yes.

chetan2u · Answer

the first century started from 01 Jan 1 to 31 Dec 100, the second from 01 Jan 101 to 31 Dec 200 and so on.

SO, the 20th century in continuation would be days and years from 01 Jan 1901 to 31 Dec 2000.

D3N0 · Answer

I also got stuck due to this.. then I reminded myself that any nth century (ex 20th century) starts with (n-1)00 and ends with (n)000. So for 20th century .. starts with year 1901 (January 1, 1901) and ends with 2000 (December 31, 2000) .. Total of 100 years.
