Statistics GRE Practice Questions
These lessons are part of a series of practice test questions for the quantitative reasoning section of the GRE revised General Test.
These are the directions for the Quantitative Comparison Questions.
Directions: Compare Quantity A and Quantity B, using additional information centered above the two quantities if such information is given, and select one of the following four answer choices:
(A) Quantity A is greater.
(B) Quantity B is greater.
(C) The two quantities are equal.
(D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Example 1:
Quantity A: Average (arithmetic mean) of integers from -50 to -1 inclusive
Quantity B: Average (arithmetic mean) of integers from -50 to 0 inclusive Example 2:
w + x = -4
x + y = 25
y + w = 15
Quantity A: Average (arithmetic mean) of w, x and y
Quantity B: 6 Example 3:
Quantity A: The average (arithmetic mean) of 32, 34 and 36
Quantity B: 34 Example 4:
a, b, c and d are different positive numbers. The average (arithmetic mean) of a and b is 30. The average of a, b, c and d is 40.
Quantity A: The greatest possible value of d.
Quantity B: 99
Example 5:
Triangle A has sides with length 5, 5 and 8.
Triangle B has sides with length 8, 8 and 5.
Quantity A: The average (arithmetic mean) measure of 3 angles of triangle A
Quantity B: The average (arithmetic mean) measure of 3 angles of triangle B.
Directions: Compare Quantity A and Quantity B, using additional information centered above the two quantities if such information is given, and select one of the following four answer choices:
(A) Quantity A is greater.
(B) Quantity B is greater.
(C) The two quantities are equal.
(D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Triangle A has sides with length 5, 5 and 8.
Triangle B has sides with length 8, 8 and 5.
Quantity A: The average (arithmetic mean) measure of 3 angles of triangle A
Quantity B: The average (arithmetic mean) measure of 3 angles of triangle B.
