Answer:

B

Explanation:

Given the data:

Class A 55 72 75 89 95

Class B 55 70 75 94 100

CLASS A :

Minimum - 55

Lower quartile - 72

Median - 75

Upper quartile - 89

Maximum - 95

CLASS B :

Minimum - 55

Lower quartile - 70

Median - 75

Upper quartile - 94

Maximum - 100

Evaluating the statements given :

The median score of Class A is greater than the median score of Class B.

Median A = 75 ; Median B = 75 (median are equal), hence, A is not true

The lower quartile of Class A is greater than the lower quartile of Class B.

Lower quartile A = 72 ; Lower quartile B = 70 (A is greater than B) , hence, B is true

The upper quartile of Class A is greater than the upper quartile of Class B.

Upper quartile A = 89 ; Upper quartile B = 94 (A is less than B) , hence, statement is not true

The maximum score of Class A is greater than the maximum score of Class B.

Maximum A = 94 ; maximum B = 100 ; A < B ; Hence, statement is not true
