Help with Probablility Question
It's a simple one but I'm not sure what the best approach is. If there are six numbers numbered 1-6, what is the probability of choosing numbers 1, 2, and 3? My approach: because order doesn't matter I used the combination 6 choose 3 which equals 20 possible combinations. Then there is only one comb...

I wanted to seek out the advice of the people on this forum regarding how I should study for the CR reasoning section. I am three months into my study and I have only CR and RC to go.

Another way to look at it is algebraically. We can model the question as is x + 10y + 100z < 550? x being the units digit y being the tens digit z being the hundreds digit (1) we are given xyz = 30 Then factors of 30 are: 1,2,3,5,30 choosing some examples: if z=5, y=3, x=2 then the answer is yes but...

Sorry Mohit I didn't see the question. But here's my attempt to explain why it's A. an odd number added to itself an odd number of times would be odd+odd+odd, or odd+odd+odd+odd+odd etc., rewritten as 3*odd or 5*odd, or it can be generalized to (2k+1)*odd for any integer k. Because 2k+1 will always ...

Answer is A because a) k = odd, n = even or odd even test: even + (even*odd) = even + even = even odd test: odd + (odd*odd) = odd + odd = even Therefore the sum must be even. Sufficient. b) k = odd, n = even or odd even test: odd*even = even odd test: odd*odd = odd Therefore the sum can either be od...

Just to clarify, 2 IS a prime number. It is the first and only even prime number.
2+5+11 = 18 as Shibal outlined above[/quote]

Nice debrief and even better score!
Just out of curiosity, about how long did you study for your GMAT?
And about how long on average did it take to go through each Manhattan math book?

What materials are given on test day?
I tried searching for this but I couldn't find anything. What materials do they give you on test day? Mba.com mentioned you get 5 notepads, but I remember reading that you get an eraseable whiteboard instead. If someone could clarify this that would be great. Thanks!
