  1. GMAT 700 Level Sample Question in Statistics

    Consider a set S = {2, 4, 6, 8, x, y} with distinct elements. If x and y are both prime numbers and 0 < x < 40 and 0 < y < 40, which of the following MUST be true?

    I. The maximum possible range of the set is greater than 33.
    II. The median can never be an even number.
    III. If y = 37, the average of the set will be greater than the median.

    1. I only
    2. I and II only
    3. I and III only
    4. III only
    5. I, II, and III
    Choice E
    All 3 statements are correct.
