Answer
The following figure shows the histograms for each of the data set.
Comparing the two histograms, we can see that there were more states
in the percentage ranges of 22.5-27.5 and 37.5-42.5 (at or above
the required proficiency levels) in math than those in reading.
While in the percentage ranges of 17.5-22.5 and 27.5-37.5, the situation
is reversed, there were more states doing well in reading than those in math.
