Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Humanitarian considerations aside, sheer economics dictates that count

(thisischelso) — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 09:17:54 -0800

Humanitarian considerations aside, sheer economics dictates that country X should institute, as country Y has done, a nationwide system of air and ground transportation for conveying seriously injured persons to specialized trauma centers. Timely access to the kind of medical care that only specialized centers can provide could save the lives of many people. The earnings of these people would result in a substantial increase in country X’s gross national product, and the taxes paid on those earnings would substantially augment government revenues.

The argument depends on the assumption that

(A) lifetime per-capita income is roughly the same in country X as it is in country Y
(B) there are no specialized trauma centers in country X at present
(C) the treatment of seriously injured persons in trauma centers is not more costly than treatment elsewhere
(D) there would be a net increase in employment in country X if more persons survived serious injury
(E) most people seriously injured

I completed my bachelor's in Production and Industrial Engineering in 2023 with a GPA of 3.73/5.0. While I don't have any full time work work experience I have internship experience in the field of Marketing and as an analyst in Fixed Income Markets (both of them being for a period of 6 months each).
In terms of extra curricular activities, I was involved in the organisation and management of several events organised by the college society I was a part of (Entrepreneurship and Incubation Cell) and was also a member of the executive body of the society. I also worked on a couple projects but they were a part of my college curriculum.

OfficialSolution:

If one of the positive factors of$10!$ is picked at random, what is the probability that it will be odd?

A.$\frac{1}{8}$
B.$\frac{1}{9}$
C.$\frac{1}{10}$
D.$\frac{1}{11}$
E.$\frac{1}{12}$

To determine the probability, first calculate the highest power of 2 in$10!$ by summing the quotients of 10 divided by powers of 2. This is computed as$ \frac{10}{2} + \frac{10}{4} + \frac{10}{8} = 5 + 2 + 1 =8$ . Therefore,$10!$ includes a factor of$2^8$ .

Now, consider that EACH odd factor of 10! can be combined with powers of 2, ranging from$2^0$ , which is 1, to$2^8$ . This results in 9 possible combinations for each oddfactor:

$ \text{(odd factor)}*2^0, \ \text{(odd factor)}*2^1, \ \text{(odd factor)}*2^2, \ ..., \ \text{(oddfactor)}*2^8$.

Among these combinations, only the first one,$ \text{(oddfactor)*1}$ , is odd. Thus, the probability of selecting an odd factor from the factors of[m]

(thisischelso) — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 09:06:30 -0800

The total debt owed by America’s house holds and businesses has increased dramatically in the last two decades. In 1990, the average credit card debt for each house-hold with at least one credit card was $2,966. By 2005, that amount had risen to $9,205. In the same period, the number of bankruptcies filed in America nearly doubled. Clearly, increased credit card debt among Americans has led to the rising number of bankruptcy filings.

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author’s conclusion?

(A) In addition to credit card debt, most people who file for bankruptcy have other large debts like medical or legal bills.
(B) The bankruptcies mentioned in the argument include business bankruptcies, which account for a large percent- age of all bankruptcies.
(C) Increased housing values have also led to larger mortgages, but having large mortgages rarely leads to bankruptcy.
(D) The citizens of other nations have much lower levels of debt and are much less likely to file

Indicate which statements could properly be inferred based on the text and the graph. Select Yes if the statement can be inferred. Otherwise, select No.

1. In-state undergraduates comprise the largest proportion of all the admitted students for 2011.
True. 55% of the largest portion of admitted students (undergraduate student)

2. The in-state undergraduate admissions were 25% higher in 2010 than in 2011.
False. The passage states that the undergrad admission in 2010 are down by 25% than in 2011. This does not imply that the undergrad admission in 2011 is 25% higher.
For example : 100 when reduced by 25% gives you: 75
However, when you increase 75 by 25%, you get 93.75.
93.75 < 100. Thus use the same analogy

If Dave works alone he will take 20 more hours to complete a task than if he worked with Diana to complete the task. If Diana works alone, she will take 5 more hours to complete the complete the task, then if she worked with Dave to complete the task? What is the ratio of the time taken by Dave to that taken by Diana if each of them worked alone to complete the task?

A. 4 : 1
B. 2 : 1
C. 10 : 1
D. 3 : 1
E. 1 : 2

Let Dave and Diana together take x hrs i.e. their 1 hr work is 1/x.
If Dave works alone then he will take x+20 hrs i.e. Dave's 1 hr work is 1/(x+20).
Therefore, Diana's 1 hr work will be 1/x - 1/(x+20) = 20/x(x+20).
Also given, Diana alone will take x+5 hrs i.e. her 1 hr work will be 1/(x+5).

20/x(x+20) = 1/(x+5) or, x=10. So, Dave will take 10+20=30hrs to finish the complete work and Diana will take 10+5=15hrs to finish the complete work.
30/15=2/1. Option (B) is correct.

As part of a new trend in the writing of history, an emphasis on the details of historical events and motivations has replaced the previous emphasis on overarching historical trends and movements, with the result that the latter are often overlooked. In consequence, the ominous parallels that mayexist between historical trends and current trends are also overlooked, which lessens our ability to learn from history.

The statements above, if true, most strongly support which one of the following?

(A) Studying the details of historical events andmotivations lessens our ability to learn from history. - WRONG. 2nd best choice for me. But it is not necessarily true as other parameters too play their role which we don't know.

Here are some common myths versus facts about top-tier MBA admissions:

Myth 1: You need a perfect GMAT score to get admitted.
Fact: While a high GMAT score can enhance an application, admissions committees consider a holistic view, including work experience, leadership potential, essays, recommendations, and interviews. Many successful candidates have scores below the top percentile.

Myth 2: Only candidates from finance or consulting backgrounds get in.
Fact: Top-tier MBA programs value diversity and admit students from a wide range of industries, including technology, healthcare, non-profits, military, and more. Unique experiences can stand out.

Myth 3: You must have a high undergraduate GPA.
Fact: A strong academic record is important, but admissions committees also consider the rigor of your undergraduate program, any upward trends in your grades, and your professional achievements post-college.

Myth 4: You need to have held a managerial position

Two-part Analysis (TPA) | Re: Events A, B, and C have the following probabilities of future

(demawtf) — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 06:40:18 -0800

A: 20%

B: 50%

C: 80%

P(A&B) = 0,2 * 0,5 = 0,10 --> Must be less than or equal to 20%
P(B or C or both) = 0,5 + 0,8 - (0,5*0,8) = 0.9 --> Must be greater than or equal to 80%

Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: The economy is in a dismal state, universities are suffering from cutb

(Raman109) — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 06:38:52 -0800

Understanding the argument -
The economy is in a dismal state, universities are suffering from cutbacks, and many students must turn to any source of funds available if they are to make ends meet. - Background information.

Faced with this situation, the university has terminated the employment of some of its more productive departmental workers. - Observation.

Why? University regulations prohibit a student’s receiving financial aid and then working for an auxiliary income that exceeds a specified limit. - Explains the logic behind termination.

Employees whose incomes had reached that limit were terminated. - Fact.

Now, the university must find other employees. - Obvious effect of the termination.

Unfortunately, though, the university’s choice of students to fill the positions will not be based upon their abilities to perform, or even upon their financial need, but upon how much money they have made. - This is the rebuke of this strategy. Even if they are productive

Graphs and Tables (G&T) | Re: The table gives information about teacher absenteeism in 21 school

(vedika.vyas) — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 06:33:35 -0800

You have to sort by the location and add the percentage for both rows of D and G.
The number of chronically absent teachers in D is
6.07% of 11,362 + 27.12% of 6642. Which comes up to ~2491

The number of chronically absent teachers in G
is 8.98% of 9,114 + 17.29% of 1608. Which comes up to ~ 1096

How is the interview of Booth MIM, I am really anxious about the interview of Booth MBA. Can someone please help me regardingit.

Vijay_Rathore Not sure why you are applying to both the MiM and MBA. That does not make sense. But to answer your question, the mim interviews are taken by admissions committee members who will look at your motivation for the MiM program and how well you can convince them of the need for the MiM program in the grand scheme of your career and other goals. They will also evaluate you on how well you can meet the rigor of the program based on your previous academic performance and what you are doing to better prepare, based on your research about the program. If you have already completed internships (MiM is not for folks with a lot of FT experience), this will be an important topic of conversation during the interview, where the interviewer will want to know about your experience in a real business environment and what else you would like to learn
