Q3 = 75th percentile
Z = (score-mean)/SD
Standard deviation = square root of variance
Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the Z score = mean + .25. Insert values into above equation and solve.
I'll leave the interpretation to you.
