The first one seems quite tough. The ratios are all very close to 1/3. Any expert comments? @MikeMcgary?

Answer 1 : To calculate the month with the fewest visits per page

if we can maximize the denominator while keeping the numerator smallest , we can get the answer.

Visually, if you see July has the maximum gap between the visits and page views. Thus, it should be July.

Answer 2 : To calculate the median number of page visits, we need to find the 6th and 7th page visits if we sort all the page visits in order.

For that, if you see we have Lowest below 150k. Now we have another 5 page visits between 150k and 200k. thus, 6th page visit would be the maximum of the page visits in this range which is around 180k in Feb or sept.

7th would be the next highest in this after the above range maximum, we could see the one at 220k(in march) is the next greater page visit. Thus median will be the mean of 6th and 7th largest page visits. or Median = 180k + 220k/2 = 200k. Thus, answer would be anything near this number.

Please post the original answers.

To answer the second one ....

6th month is Sept or Feb...

I think 7th one would be Jan with 2,05,000

Hence Average = (180000 +205000)/2 = Close to 192500

For the 1st question, the ratio of visitors to pages in May is 75/245 = 0.306, but if we consider 70/240 = 0,291 that definitely beats that of July: 100/330= 0.303

­­­Yes, they are very close! We have to read the graph very carefully for this and use our calculator.

However, there is a newer version of this question in OG 2024 that I posted here, with answer choices with ratios are much farther apart; I think this is a better version, since the GMAT Focus typically encourages rounding and estimation.

For the first question I thought that since we're looking the least fraction we want to have the smallest numerator and the largest denominator. From the months in the options, the only to qualify these "conditions" is July, because December and April have the smallest and 2nd smallest nominator respectively, but not the greatest denominator. Is this strategy valid GMATCoachBen chetan2u KarishmaB Bunuel ?

Hi

You cannot look at numerators in isolation. If the denominator are the same, you can compare numerator, otherwise no. Find the value of complete fraction..

1000/1500 > 2000/4000 even though numerator in right hand side is greater.
