Explanation:

Step1: Count students with fewer courses

Count the number of students who have taken fewer than 19 courses in the list 23, 16, 5, 3, 22, 10, 18, 26, 1, 9, 3, 14. There are 9 such students.

Step2: Calculate the percentage

Use the formula $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Number of students with fewer than 19 courses}}{\text{Total number of students}}\times100\%$. The total number of students is 12. So, $\text{Percentage}=\frac{9}{12}\times100\% = 75\%$.

75%
