Hi All,

When one a GMAT question (in statistics) says that set consist of five different positive elements, then do we have to consider both the following possibilities ? If only one of them, then can some one please tell why ?

a) (1,2,3,4,5)
b) (1,1,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5)

Please note that as such option B too has only five different positive elements.

Thanks
Mohit

"set consist of 5 different positive elements " means total element is 5 , it can not b as tot element in b is not five.
It does not matter how many times you get knocked down , but how many times you get up
