Two classes took the same 20-point quiz. The teacher summarized each class's scores and described the shapes. Data Set A (Class A): approximately symmetric with no outliers;

\bar{x}=15.2

s=1.1

, median

=15

, IQR

=1.5

. Data Set B (Class B): approximately symmetric with no outliers;

\bar{x}=14.6

s=2.0

, median

=15

, IQR

=2.5

. From the summary statistics, which statement best compares the typical score and variability of Class A and Class B using appropriate measures?
