Minor error on explanation Challenge 10/24/11 Answer B?

Hi guys, it looks likely that Challenge pb of 10/24/11 has a bit of an erroneous explanation for B, though it does not change the correct answer (ie the numbers 17, 19 and 21 put x in the 3rd quartile).

Hi Piccolino,

Thanks for pointing that out! This was indeed an error. We have fixed the typo to note that answer choice B has a 60% probability. As you pointed out, this does not change the outcome of the problem. Thanks again. Contact me by email at tdearr@manhattangre.com and we'd be happy to give you a free MGRE eBook as a reward for your eagle eye.

Best Regards,
Taylor
