A student is using an HR Diagram to find out more about star classifications. The student decides to compare stars from Area M and Area P. Which of these observations made by the student is not correct?

a)

Area M has some stars brighter than area P, but on average, area P has brighter stars than area M.

b)

Area M is cooler, on average, than area P. This is because they are closest to the cool side of the HR Diagram.
