In DS 1 shared on June 13, statement B was, "Machine filled 1/3 of the order between 9:00 a.m. and 10:40 a.m."

I am confused here, how should we interpret this statement-
1. By 10:40am machine filled 1/3 of the order (with this understanding, we can answer the question)

2. Machine filled 1/3 of the order BETWEEN 9am and 10:40 - this can be anytime between 9am and 10:40am, it can be 10am, 10:15 am and so on

Can someone pls explain, which understanding is correct and why

Machine filled 1/3 of the order between 9:00 a.m. and 10:40 a.m. - Means machine took whole time of 1hr 40min starting from 9 till 10:40 to complete 1/3rd amount of order

what i think is your interpretation would be correct if the statement said, “machine filled 1/3 of the order before 10:40 a.m.”

Hi, for this question, I was wondering does anyone of you saw a quick scan/analysis from the chart instead of the doing the long calculations?

didn’t we need to multiply (2*5)+(8*9)+.../60 ?

since there are for example 2 vaccinations on day one... really hard time to understand

nope because total count of vaccination is 60 and that too happening only for 15 days so vaccination per day is 60/15

hi all, does any one have a quicker way to solve this MSR question : marketers-theorize-that-consumers-purchase-decisions-are-driven-by-384470.html

I took way too much time to solve even the 1st questions(~5 mins) to calculate all the attribute and benefits and cost values, which I feel is too error prone

but I was not able to figure out a straightforward way of answering the questions without doing that either

Hmm yeah, thought so. But I felt there was an easier way or observation I was missing out on. Thanks for the help!

Also, for such questions - how do you decide when you need to get down to the math and start calculating? As there are obviously questions where they trick you out and even if 1st instinct is to go for calculations, you can get by without ever doing them..
