This is an inference question so the correct choice MUST be true. All we are told is Mrs. Baxter’s class has the greatest percent of students who are taller than 6 ft and Mr. Pendelton’s class has the greatest percent of students who are 6’4 and taller.

A- We are not given any info about heights b/w 6 and 6'4 so can't say this for sure.
B- Some can be translated to "at least one" and since Mrs.Baxter has greatest percent of students taller than 6ft she has at least one student taller than 6ft. Correct choice.
C- 2nd greatest isn't the scope of the argument. For all we know there could be other classes with better/worse stats.
D- Incorrect. Mr.P's class has greatest percent of students who are 6’4 and taller
E- Range requires max–min values and since we are only given percentages we can't say this for sure.
