Selected answer:In the bottom 7%

Explanation:
If you are in the top percentile you are in the top 1% of a group (above 99%)
If you are in the bottom percentile you are in the lowest 1% of a group (with 99% of the rest above you).

So it you are in the 7th percentile it means you are part of the group of the lowest 7% of values for that criterion.

Below the "3rd percentile curve (line)"

Explanation:
Percentile: The lines or curves on growth charts tell how many other children in his/her coumtry or region weigh a certain amount at a certain age. It is used in the follow-up of all structural growth and development of all children.
A percentile (or a centile) is a measure in statistics. It shows the value below which a given percentage of observations falls. For example, the 20th percentile is the value (or score) below which 20% of the observations may be found.

I am very sorry. Target words must be -Below the "7th percentile curve (line)"-,
not -Below the "3rd percentile curve (line)"-

Example sentence(s):

When your child comes in at the 10th percentile, it's really no better or worse than coming in at the 90th. What we care about most is the trend at which your baby or child gains weight, height, or head circumference
Understanding the problems associated with reading ages and using standardised scores and percentiles instead can help the test giver to better identify which children really have serious problems and improve the ability to monitor their progres over time

below the value for the measured variable that separates the lower 7% from the rest

Explanation:

If what is measured is the height (or the weight or ... ) of individuals inside a defined population then

"the seventh (7th) percentile"

as used in:

He/she scores ... below the seventh (7th) percentile,

would be a value for the height (or the weight, or whatever is being measured) that will divide the observed population in two groups - one group comprising 7% of the population where the value of the measured variable is below the "7th percentile limit" and the other group the remaining 93% of the observed population for who the measured value of the variable would be above this "7th percentile limit"

here "the seventh (7th) percentile" is a value of the measured variable NOT a number of people.

in practical terms:

for each of these various tests, there is a score / a test result that would split the tested group in 7% of those whose score is below that "limit value" and 93% whose score would be above that "threshold / limit"
