11. (a)

(b) There are 19 results in each class , therefore the10th score is the median, the 5th score is the lower quartile and the 15th score is the upper quartile.

From diagram:

 

First class:

 

 

median = 56

Second class:

 

 

median = 55

upper quartile = 73

upper quartile = 66

lower quartile = 43

lower quartile = 42

 

(c)

First class    Second class

Medians are similar, the first class has a wider spread and range of marks although the second class has the lowest mark.
