a. Which state had the higher scores in both​ categories?  
State B
State A

To determine which state had the higher scores in both categories (male and female), let's compare the scores of each state:

### Comparison:
- **Male Scores:**
  - State A: 271
  - State B: 273  
  **State B has a higher score** in this category.

- **Female Scores:**
  - State A: 240
  - State B: 242  
  **State B also has a higher score** in this category.

### Conclusion:
**State B** had higher scores in both the male and female categories.
