you can use an external image-hosting web site, such as postimage.org, and then just put a link in your post.

that's the only way i know how to do it.

this is the image for the question........i just marked the answer in a rush luckily i struck the right choice...........

if anyone can analyze what is going on........ last time I took the gmatprep i got two standard deviation programs and they were not to assess the spread from the mean , or adding the same factor or same number to a list and assess the change...
unfortunately it was my first time with gprep software hence i didnt get it how to save the same

pretty wacked out questions like these.......

Given Mean = 8.1
Std dev = 0.3.

1.5 * Std Dev = 0.3*1.5= 0.45

So Question wants us to find all values between 8.1 +/- 0.45

or in Range 7.65 to 8.55.

Look at all values, out of 12 values only first value 7.51 is not in above range all other 11 values are.

hope it helps.
