The minimum target heart rate for men 20-40 years old is not less than the minimum target heart rate for men 50-70 years old because for men 20-40 years old the minimum target heart rate is 90 and for men 50-70 years old the minimum target heart rate is 75.
Option D is correct:
The interquartile range of the data for men 20-40 years old is greater than the interquartile range of data for men 50-70 years old because for men 20-40 years old interquarile range is [tex]Q_{3}-Q_{1}=152.5-107.5=45[/tex] and for men 50-70 years old interquartile range is [tex]Q_{3} -Q_{1} =130-90=40[/tex].
