20. Certain one-day seminar consisted of a morning session and an afternoon session. If each 128 ppl attending seminar attended at least one of the 2 sessions, how many of the ppl attended the morning session only?
1. 3/4 ppl attended both sessions 2. 7/8 ppl attended afternoon session
Solution: P(M U A ) = P(A) + P(M) - P(M n A)
We need ( P(M) - P(M n A) ) We know P(M U A) = 128
Condition 1: 3/4 ppl attended both sessions This is giving us P(M n A). We still don't know P(A) INSUFFICIENT
Condition 2: 7/8 ppl attended afternoon session This is exactly what we need 128 = (7/8)(128) + (P(M) - P(M n A)) => P(M) - P(M n A) = Only morning = 128 - 112 = 16 SUFFICIENT
Answer B 34. During an experiment, some water was removed from each of 6 water tanks. If the standard deviation of the volumes of water in the tanks at the beginning of the experiment was 10 gallons, what was the standard deviation of the volumes of water in the tanks at the end of the experiment?
(1) For each tank, 30 percent of the volume of water that was in the tank at the beginning of the experiment was removed during the experiment. (2) The average (arithmetic mean) volume of water in the tanks at the end of the experiment was 63 gallons. Solution: Stmt 1: If an equal amt of water is removed from each tank, the std deviation would also change by same % => SD at the end of the expt = 7 (70% of 10) Sufficient
Stmt 2: Avg at the end of the experiment = 63 No info on amt of water removed.. Insufficient Ans A. 187. If x, y, and z are integers greater than 1, what is the value of x + y + z ? A. XYZ=70 B.X/YZ=7/10
Solution: 70=2×5×7 X=2, y=5, z=7 So, 2+5+7=14. SUFF.
Stem2: X=7 Yz=10 Y=1, z=10, y=2, z=5, y=-10, z=-1. NOT SUFF.
