Stores in State A (A) have generally higher sales than the stores in State B (B). Stores in State A have similar sales to the stores in State B. Choose the correct answer below. the median in A is higher than the first quartile in B. the lowest performing store in A was higher than nearly 50% of the stores in B. the median in B is higher than the first quartile in A. the lowest performing store in B was higher than nearly 50V. of the stores in A. the median in B is higher than the third quartile in A. the lowest performing store in B was higher than nearly 25% of the stor
