# Create realistic lab users

•

In testing out some of my other tools over the last few weeks, I’ve found it necessary to create a some test users.  A lot of test users.  Not a normal “a lot,” either.  I needed hundreds of thousands at a minimum, a million if possible, as fully fleshed-out can be.  I needed some with Exchange mailboxes, some without.  I wanted locations, departments, job roles, and org charts.

I’ve found several scripts around the internet that purport to do parts of this, and can (to some extent), but nothing that gets close to the level of complexity that I wanted to entertain. And, you frequently had to supply your own names, addresses, and so forth.  Too much stuff to keep track of and copy around as I needed.

So, I wrote a tool.

It’s got enough possible combinations to get you to nearly 1 billion user accounts.  Yes, that’s billion with a b. I’ve got some plans to features to add to it, but for now, this should meet all most of your lab mailbox needs.  Over the course of 2 days, I used this to create 1.2 million users.  At that point, I figured it wasn’t going to break.

Oh, and it also can create and populate nested groups.

# Parameters

This is where all of the magic happens.  I’ll go over the parameters and what they do here.

Add the UPN suffix specified in UpnSuffix to Active Directory if it does not exist.  Yeah, I know. Now I’m just showing off.

## Company

Specify value for company.  By default, it will use Contoso, Ltd.

## Count

Integer to specify number of users. Minimum 1, maximum 965,000,000 and change.

## CreateGroups

Yes, I had to come back and add this feature, since it seemed like a glaring omission.  Using the Locations and Roles, the CreateGroups parameter will create groups containing both users and roll-up nested groups.  It further adds realism to the environment.

## CreateMailboxes

Use this switch parameter to create mailboxes (as opposed to only creating AD users).  It will bark at you if you specify this without specifying an Exchange server.

## Domain

Specify domain suffix to use for UPN and PrimarySmtpAddress.  The domain doesn’t have to be part of the forest UPN suffixes or an Exchange accepted domain.  However, if it’s not an Exchange Accepted domain and you create mailboxes, at some point, when the address book is updated, the default address policy may interfere with it (unless you flag the mailboxes to not inherit the email address policy).

## ExchangeServer

Specify Exchange Server hostname.  The script will attempt to connect via Kerberos authentication; please use the NetBIOS name or a registered SPN.

## OUPath

Specify OU path under which to create users. If it does not exist, the path will be created. The syntax will be checked for validity; if the path specified
cannot be created (such as incorrect forest), the script will exit.  By default, the script will create a test OU at OU=”Test Accounts,DC=<domain>,DC=com,” and then a series of OUs underneath it that map to the state and department variables.

## UpnSuffix

Value for UPN suffix. Default value is forest DnsDomainName. If this value is specified, it will be used in place of the current DomainName value.

# Examples

Now, on to some examples.

.\Create-LabUsers.ps1 -CreateMailboxes -ExchangeServer Exchange1 -AddUpnSuffix -UpnSuffix contoso.com -Count 5000

Create 5,000 mailboxes using Exchange server Exchange1. Add the UPN Suffix contoso.com to the forest.

.\Create-LabUsers.ps1 -UpnSuffix fabrikam.com -Count 5000 -Company "Fabrikam, Inc." -OUPath "OU=Fabrikam Users,DC=domain,DC=com"

Create 5,000 AD user accounts in a structure starting at OU=Fabrikam Users,DC=domain,DC=com.”

One of the fun aspects was figuring out how to provision groups in a way that would make sense.  As I mentioned in the parameter description, I ended up using the user job titles in conjunction with their state location to create groups.  In this example, you can see that the script has created a number of groups and relationships.  The “Consulting Manager – New York” group was created because there are users in the OU=Consulting,OU=New York,OU=Test Accounts container that have the job title “Manager.”  The group “Consulting Manager” was created to hold all of the “Consulting Manager – <state>” groups.  And, as you can also see, users with the title “Manager” are eligible to have direct reports.

If a user is created in an OU that already has someone with a Manager title, they will get assigned that user as a manager.

As always, let me know what works and what doesn’t for you guys.  Until then, bulk up in a steroid-free way using this script over at https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Create-Realistic-Lab-Users-b756fedf.

1. NS says:

Nice practical script.

Just wondering how can I add parameters to enable users for Lync/Skype aswell ?

1. I was actually going to add that in. 🙂 There are a handful of additional attributes to populate to make users show up like Skype/Lync on-premises.

1. Jonathan Christie says:

Did I ever sent you my updated script with the lync/skype enablement?
Let me know if I didn’t!

2. Anonymous says:

(The content was deleted per user request)

3. Jonathan Christie says:

cool script. I’ve had to make a couple of changes. One was to avoid an ambiguous parameter.
line 536 – Ambiguous argument ‘-Member’. Changed -Member to -Members

The other was to fix the same issue TBEB had – and to cater for a longer domain name (ie homelab.domain.com, not just domain.com)

4. Jonathan says:

Excellent tool for the homelab.
Had to change line 536 – Ambiguous argument ‘-Member’. Changed -Member to -Members

1. Aaron Guilmette says:

Interesting. Looks like a typo on my end. It didn’t return ambiguous when I’ve tested, which is probably how I missed it. What version(s) of Windows are you running? I’ll update the posted version. Thanks!

5. Jonathan says:

Cool script – really useful.
Changed line 536 to -Members as -Member is ambiguous?
Had the same issue with a subdomain (my lab is homelab.domain.com, not domain.com) so altered the CreateOU procedure to cater for it.

Write-Log -LogFile $Logfile -LogLevel INFO -ConsoleOutput -Message “Organizational unit$($Path) does not exist. Creating.” [array]$OuFullPath = $Path.Split(“,”) [array]::Reverse($OuFullPath)
$OuDepthCount = 0 foreach ($obj in $OuFullPath) { If ($OuFullPath[$OuDepthCount] -like ‘DC=*’) { if ($ou -like ”)
{
#top level, do not insert ‘,’
$Ou =$obj
}
else
{
$Ou =$obj + “,” + $Ou } # Do nothing else, since Test-Path will return a referral error when querying the very top levels } Else { #Write-Host Current item is$obj
$Ou =$obj + “,” + $Ou When reporting on the number of users created, it always seems to be one short (ie does [1/10] to [9/10]) I havent dug into that yet 1. Aaron Guilmette says: As previously noted, I’ll update the -Member(s) parameter. It didn’t return ambiguous for me, which is probably how I missed it. As to the OU depth modification, I’ll dig into that as well. I built this function for another tool (and just re-used it here). My lab doesn’t have multiple subdomains, so I want to go through and try it in your configuration and some additional configurations with domain structures before I commit the change. Thanks for putting some sample code around it; if you could share the error that you are receiving, I’d be very interested in that, too. I think I found the counting error. I used “for ($i = 1; $i -lt$Count; $i++)”; I updated it to$i -le $Count, and that seems to have resolved that error. Thanks for the feedback! 6. TBEB says: this is great…. Can’t seem to get it to work with corp.domain.com though. It keeps trying to use domain.com only. 1. Aaron Guilmette says: Where are you seeing the domain.com instead of corp.domain.com? I just ran it in my lab (Windows 2012R2) for 500 users, and it seemed to work fine. I ran: .\Create-LabUsers.ps1 -Count 500 -Domain corp.domain.com -OUPath “OU=subdomaintest,dc=forest,dc=com” and both the mail and UPN attributes were populated correctly. 2. Jonathan Christie says: around line 270, I changed the CreateOU procedure, to cope with this (I just know this formatting is going to get messed up!) [array]::Reverse($OuFullPath)
$OuDepthCount = 0 foreach ($obj in $OuFullPath) { If ($OuFullPath[$OuDepthCount] -like ‘DC=*’) { if ($ou -like ”)
{
#top level, do not insert ‘,’
$Ou =$obj
}
else
{
$Ou =$obj + “,” + $Ou } # Do nothing else, since Test-Path will return a referral error when querying the very top levels } Else { #Write-Host Current item is$obj
$Ou =$obj + “,” + \$Ou

# DIY Air Purifier

3 minute read Published 10 February 2022

A simple air purifier made with an off the shelf HEPA filter

After the recent air stagnation advisory in West Washington, I was interested in improving indoor air quality in my home. Big Clive’s video DIY cheap & quiet HEPA air cleaner gave me the inspiration I needed to get started on my own air purifier.

## Parts🔗

All I needed was a filter and a fan to attach it to. For the filter: a VortexAir True HEPA Filter from Home Depot. For the fan: a spare case fan in my closet from a past PC upgrade.

VortexAir True HEPA Filter Noctua NF A-8 PWM

I soon realized there were a few parts I hadn’t thought about – the fan needed a power supply, and it didn’t make a seal with the filter so I needed to make some kind of adapter.

Luckily, I happened to have a USB 5V to 12V DC converter on hand which fit the bill.

With my novice OpenSCAD skills, I modeled and 3D printed an adapter to mount the fan on top of the filter. Air is sucked through the filter’s fins, up, and out the top.

## Bearings🔗

Big Clive’s video discusses one major concern with running case fans in this orientation: bearings. Common case fans use steel ball bearings to run smoothly and efficiently. However, this is a major shortcoming for the air purifier design. The orientation of the fan means the fan blade weighs down on the bearings in a way they weren’t designed for. So the lifetime of a fan with steel ball bearings would be severely reduced. Thankfully I was in the clear on this – the fan I used has a special “SSO2” bearing that is hydrodynamic and stabilized by a magnetic field. Friction is greatly reduced in this environment so orientation does not significantly affect the fan’s lifetime.

## Final Product🔗

And for the finished air purifier:

The parts used:

The total cost was $61.84. This is$38.15 cheaper than the filter’s namesake air purifier and was a fun project.

If $$f\in C^1([a,b])$$ is increasing and nonconstant, then

$\int_a^b\sqrt{1+{f^\prime}^2(x)}\, \mathrm dx \lt b-a+f(b)-f(a).$

For $$\alpha$$, $$\beta\geqslant0$$, $$\sqrt{\alpha^2+\beta^2}\leqslant\alpha+\beta$$, with equality iff one or both of $$\alpha$$, $$\beta$$ equals $$0$$.

Now $$f ^\prime\geqslant 0$$, it follows that

$\sqrt{1+{f^\prime}^2(x)}\leqslant 1+f^\prime(x), x\in [a,b].$

Because $$f(x)$$ is nonconstant, $$f^\prime\gt0$$ in a subinterval. In that subinterval we have strict inequality between these two functions. Integrating both sides then gives the result.

# What are some easy papers in mathematics understood by undergraduates?

Being a junior(3rd.year) undergraduate in mathematics, I would like to learn how serious papers of mathematics do the proofs rigorously as opposed to textbooks and proffessors in lectures and I wish to see this by myself. For this reason , I just want to read at least one paper which I can understand the topic and proofs.

Though the aim of this reading process is to learn the extent of rigorousness in papers , I want also the subject to interest me so that I would learn something. That is why I might choose the topics somewhat related to real analysis since I consider doing Phd on real& functional analysis or probability & stochastic analysis.Hence, subjects could be Real Analysis, Game Theory, Probability or Stochastic Processes.

The thing is that I should be able to understand the paper to avoid throwing the paper away. I am at the level of Apostol's Mathematical Analysis(Point set topology ,metric spaces, differentiation &integration, continuity, uniform convergence, series and sequences of functions etc.) and I took a course on Lebesgue Integration which started Lebesgue Theory by sequence of step functions. I have not taken or read any thing on Stochastic Calculus but I know Applied Probability and Statistics at the level ,say undergraduate engineering student.

With all these in mind, which spesific paper do you suggest me to read?

1) The paper that I am looking for can be any theorem which is usually a subject of an undergraduate real analysis courses or from a textbook on real analysis. To give some examples, Fubini's Theorem, Beppo-Levi's Theorem in Lebesgue Integration or Banach's Fixed Point Theorem, Arzela-Ascoli Theorem, Baire Theorem etc. on Analysis can be candidates .

• This is such a broad topic which clearly has the tendency on getting "down-votes." (I hope not) So what's your field of interest, Mathematical Analysis ? – user399481 Dec 25 '16 at 8:30
• the paper I am looking for can be on any theorem which is a subject of undergraduate mathematical analysis courses. For example Fubini's Theorem on $\mathbb{R}^n$ – Quantes Dec 25 '16 at 8:33
• Right. Couple of ways on top of my head. Check "Google Scholar" option and search on the topic of your interest. Also, go to arxiv.org, choose Mathematics and do the same. – user399481 Dec 25 '16 at 8:35
• If I do that It can go very broad set of papers which I might choose one that I migh not able to understand even a single line of the paper at all. That is why I am looking an answer here. – Quantes Dec 25 '16 at 8:39
• It's not an easy process considering the level you're at. Either you asked some papers from an instructor who knows your level of understanding. Or you do it by yourself. It's up to you. Initially it'll be hard. But you'll get use to it. – user399481 Dec 25 '16 at 8:42

Suggestions:

Source: Mathematics Magazine, vol. 40, 1967, pp. 179-186.

Source: The American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 78, No. 9 (Nov., 1971), pp. 970-979.

• Thank you! I will certainly look deeper into your suggestion @Pedro and I am open to other suggestions as well. – Quantes Dec 25 '16 at 13:02
• arzela has many generalisations – Max Dec 25 '16 at 14:14

Another Suggestion:

A simple proof that $\pi$ is irrational

It is a one page proof. It is not a proof of a major theorem, and questionably fits into your field though.

• It is a one page but, in my opinion, in order to make it readable for an undergraduate student we have to expand it considerably, as done in this series (or in this text in portuguese). – Pedro Mar 29 '17 at 1:07

# is $ded^{*}(\kappa)< ded(\kappa)$ consistent?

Hello,

I wonder if anyone knows this.

Definition:

1. $ded\left(\lambda\right)$ is the supremum of all sizes of linear orders with a dense subset of size $\lambda$.

2. $ded^{*}\left(\lambda\right)$ is the supremum of all sizes of branches of the same hight of set theoretic trees with $\lambda$ many nodes.

(i.e. a partial order such that for every $x$, the set of elements smaller than $x$ is well-ordered)

It is known that $\lambda< ded^{*}\left(\lambda\right)\leq ded\left(\lambda\right)\leq2^{\lambda}$.

Can it be that $ded^{*}\left(\lambda\right)< ded\left(\lambda\right)$?

-

I am not sure if this exactly what you want, but here is a theorem that might help:

Definition Assume $\mu\le\kappa\le\lambda$ and $\mu$ is a regular cardinal. (1) Let $D(\kappa,\lambda)$ iff there is a linear order of size $\lambda$ and a dense set of size $\kappa$. (2) Let $D(\kappa,\lambda,\mu)$ iff there is a linear order of size $\lambda$, character $\mu$ that has a dense subset of size $\kappa$.

Then

Theorem (1) $D(\kappa,\lambda,\mu)$ iff there is a tree of height $\mu$, cardinality $\le\kappa$ and at least $\lambda$ branches of length $\mu$. (2) $D(\kappa,\lambda)$ iff there is a tree of height $\le\kappa$, cardinality $\le\kappa$ and at least $\lambda$ branches.

This is from J.E. Baumgartner, Almost-disjoint sets the dense set problem and the partition calculus, Annals of Mathematical Logic, Volume 9, Issue 4, May 1976, Pages 401-439

Let me combine and expand on the definitions: $$ded(λ)=sup_κD(λ,κ)$$ $$ded(λ,μ)=sup_κD(λ,κ,μ)$$ $$ded^*(\lambda,\mu)=\sup_\kappa \mbox{ There is a tree T with height \mu and \lambda many nodes}$$

$$\mbox{and the set of \mu−branches through T has size \kappa}$$

$$ded^∗(λ)=\sup_μded^∗(λ,μ).$$ I am not sure if this is your intended definition or not. Assume so.

Then by Baumgartner's theorem, part (1): $$ded^*(\lambda,\mu)=\sup_\kappa D(\lambda, \kappa,\mu)=ded(\lambda,\mu)$$ and $$ded^*(λ)=\sup_μ ded(λ,μ).$$

So the question becomes whether or not $$ded^*(\lambda)=\sup_μ ded(λ,μ)\le ded(\lambda).$$

I hope I am not misinterpreting your definition. I have to give it some thought for this last inequality, but it is not obvious to me why it should hold. On the other hand, I don't have a counterexample either.

-
Thanks. What do you mean by character $\mu$? –  ikp Aug 5 '11 at 14:51
The left character of a point $x$ is the least cardinal $\kappa$ such that there is a cofinal sequence in the set $\{y|y<x\}$. The right character is defined symmetrically by considering coinitial sequences in $\{y|y>x\}$. The character of $x$ is the minimum of these two. –  Ioannis Souldatos Aug 5 '11 at 16:07
Thanks. So $ded^{*}$ can be defined using (1). Does Baumgartner also answers my original question? –  ikp Aug 5 '11 at 16:51

### 230. Kth Smallest Element in a BST

Given a binary search tree, write a function kthSmallest to find the kth smallest element in it.

Example 1:

Input: root = [3,1,4,null,2], k = 1    3  /   \ 1     4  \   2Output: 1

Example 2:

Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,null,1], k = 3        5      /   \     3     6    / \   2   4  / 1Output: 3

Follow up: What if the BST is modified (insert/delete operations) often and you need to find the kth smallest frequently? How would you optimize the kthSmallest routine?

Constraints:

The number of elements of the BST is between 1 to 10^4. You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ BST's total elements.

### Analyze

/** * Definition for a binary tree node. * function TreeNode(val, left, right) { *     this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val) *     this.left = (left===undefined ? null : left) *     this.right = (right===undefined ? null : right) * } *//** * @param {TreeNode} root * @param {number} k * @return {number} */var kthSmallest = function(root, k) {  const countResult = { value: 0 }  return analyzeCount(root, k, countResult)}
var analyzeCount = function(node, k, count) {  if (!node) return null  const pickLeft = analyzeCount(node.left, k, count)  if (typeof pickLeft === 'number') return pickLeft  count.value = count.value + 1  if (k === count.value) {    return node.val  }  const pickRight = analyzeCount(node.right, k, count)  if (typeof pickRight === 'number') return pickRight}

How do you graph y=3tan(2pit) over the interval [-1/2, 1/2]?

Jul 19, 2018

$y = 3 \tan 2 \pi x$.

The period for this graph is $\frac{\pi}{2 \pi} = \frac{1}{2}$

The asymptotes are  2pix = (( 2k + 1 )(pi/2) rArr x = ( 2k + 1 )/4

k = 0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ...#

So, the graph for$x \in \left[- \frac{1}{2} , \frac{1}{2}\right]$ is for

$x \in \left[- \frac{1}{2} , - \frac{1}{4}\right) U \left(- \frac{1}{4} , \frac{1}{4}\right) U \left(\frac{1}{4} , \frac{1}{2}\right]$, excluding infinite

discontinuities at $x = \pm \frac{1}{4}$.

Now see graph.
graph{y-3 tan ( 2 pi x )=0[-0.5 0.5 ]} .

# Hot Questions, inability to filter sites… and now German questions? Too much “noise”!

We used to have the ability to filter Stack Exchange wide stories. I was sad to see the ability go away. I'll admit it isn't the end of the world. I do like seeing questions on occasion that I would normally filter out.

The problem I have, though, is I have no desire to learn German. There is nothing wrong with the language per-se, it is just not something I'm interested in investing my time in.

Now, I'm explicitly forced to look at the most popular stories and am unable to remove question(s), in a language I can't even read and have no desire to learn. What's going to happen when French, Italian, Spanish, etc. sites start poping up?

Add the German site (and potential derivatives) to already undesirable "Hot" questions and all of a sudden I have to visually filter out more and more questions. It makes "Hot" questions useless for me (I know I'm not alone on this).

Hot Questions are only useful if "Hot" questions aren't drowned out by "crap" (One man's treasure is another man's trash).

Why can't we have the option to filter out sites? I know the desire is to expose us, but what if we don't want exposure to German, Apple and Photography? There needs to be the option to get rid of "crap" I'm not interested in.

How about the ability to create a "Filter" with "Hot Questions" on "These sites"? Right now "Filters" only works on tags. Why not "hotness", "Featured", "unanswered", etc.?

How about the ability to replace "Hot Questions" with a filter of my choosing (especially useful if paired with above suggestion)? Or put a filter between "Hot Questions" and "All-Sites"? Or a dropdown for my name with a selected filter?

How about the ability to remove sites from "Hot Questions" again? If not from the drop down list, from a landing page like before.

Please give us SOME ability to make "Hot Questions" useful again. Because right now, it's borderline useless due to increasing amounts of noise.

-
Anyone else find it ironic someone named "Werner" is complaining about German-language questions? – JNK Jun 2 '11 at 15:08
lol Yeah... you got me there. I'm many generations American :) Love history & learning about where I came from, even if I have no desire to learn a second language. – WernerCD Jun 2 '11 at 15:41

Questions without a sufficient amount of English are now not only excluded from the stackexchange.com homepage (that's what you see in the “hot questions” tab of the multicollider), but also from Stack Exchange tweets and SE 2.0 ads.

Currently, the basic criteria for the English threshold* are:
a) The title has 2 or fewer non-English words (ignoring proper nouns)
b) The body is 75% English or more, by length

* only applies to certain sites, like german, judaism, and japanese

We're working on adding a "hot" sort to the filters feature. (Currently, the only sorts are "activity", "newest", and "no answers".) When it's finished, you'll be able to create a filter with all questions from a specific subset of sites, and then select the "hot" sort.

-
Much needed addition, even without being able to see it until it goes live. – WernerCD Jun 10 '11 at 2:24
I'm curious, how do you algorithmically check if the words in a post are actually not English and not just obscure jargon or misspelled words? – Peter Olson Sep 17 '11 at 21:32
@Peter we have an English dictionary in memory – Emmett Sep 18 '11 at 0:39

The solution to this problem is to allow users to set up their network preferences at stackexchange.com. A checkbox for all the sites to include hot questions from would suffice. By default, all sites would be included.

If you are really interested in having hot questions capture new traffic by showing up in lists on unrelated Stack Exchange sites, simply make the availability of said checkboxes dependent upon a users' reputation on one or more sites.

I think most veteran users of the Stack Exchange series of sites are aware of the multiple topics and would welcome the ability to filter out those sites which clearly will not be of use to them.

-
Personally, I don't mind random questions on occasion. They had the ability to "bury" sub-sites previously and removed it a few months back. It wasn't that bad, but like google search results, it's gotten more cluttered over time. I can now "block" bad websites on google. Just wish I could do the same here. Extra options with rep sounds good. I also wouldn't mind the ability to "wieght" subsites so better/worse ones are moved up/down. Maybe a multiplier, or a like/dislike button. – WernerCD Jun 3 '11 at 23:10
this feature existed for a while on stackexchange.com but it was pulled because nobody used it. And when it was pulled, nobody noticed for 3 weeks... – Jeff Atwood Jun 10 '11 at 5:53
It looks like this feature does not affect the topics shown in the top-left dropdown, it only filters the SE hot questions page. For me, and I suspect for 95%+ of users, that makes it irrelevant. – Jon of All Trades Oct 21 '13 at 21:52

It doesn't answer your exact question, but on-line translation sites provide an alternative for including other language speakers.

Some of the on-line translation sites do a reasonable job of translating web pages. You might consider http://translate.google.com/ or http://www.online-translator.com/Default.aspx?prmtlang=en. In the second one, prmtlang=en specifies English as the dialog language.

If Stack Overflow could provide a link to "translate this page" it would make sharing with other language speakers easy.

-
I think you totally missed the point. It's not a matter of "he'd be interested if only he could read the page", it's more "He's not interested, and he can't even read the page anyway!" – Ernest Friedman-Hill Jun 3 '11 at 19:02

On Jane's credit card account, the average daily balance for 30-day billing cycle is the average (arithmetic mean) of the daily balances at the end of each of the 30 days. At the beginning of a certain 30-day billing cycle, Jane's credit card account had a balance of $600. Jane made a payment of$300 on the account during the billing cycle. If no other amounts were added to or subtracted from the account during the billing cycle, what was the average daily balance on Jane's account for the billing cycle?

(1) Jane's payment was credited on the 21st day of the billing cycle.

(2) The average daily balance through the 25th day of the billing cycle was $540. [Reveal] Spoiler: OA Last edited by Bunuel on 27 Sep 2014, 05:53, edited 2 times in total. Edited the stem.

(1) Jane's payment was credited on the 21st day of the billing cycle. (2) The average daily balance through the 25th day of the billing cycle was$540.

Question basically ask on which day did Jane make the payment of $300. Or algebraically: $$average \ daily \ balance=\frac{x*600+(30-x)*300}{30}$$ --> for the first $$x$$ days the balance will be$600 and then for $$(30-x)$$ days the balance will be $600-$300=$300 (meaning that Jane made a payment of$300 on the (x+1)st day). So all we need to know is on which day did Jane make the payment of $300, the value of x+1. (1) Jane's payment was credited on the 21st day of the billing cycle --> directly gives the value of $$x+1$$ --> $$x+1=21$$ --> $$x=20$$: for 20 days the balance was$600 and for the rest 10 days (from 21st) it was $300 --> we can find the average daily balance. Sufficient. (2) The average daily balance through the 25th day of the billing cycle was$540 --> $$average_{25 \ days}=540=\frac{x*600+(25-x)*300}{25}$$ --> we can find $$x$$ --> we can find the average daily balance. Sufficient.

1) Jane's payment was credited on the 21st day of the billing cycle.

2) The average daily balance through the 25th day of the billing cycle was $540. Thanks! Long question stem... Though try to identify that the question is just testing you on weighted averages. For some days the account had$600, for rest of the days, the account had $300 in it. We need to find the average of the amount in the account (it is weighted because the two amounts could have been in the account for different durations.) Stmnt 1 - We know now that the account had$600 for 20 days and $300 for the rest of the 10 days. You can easily find the average. Sufficient. You don't need to since it is a DS question, but if you had to find the average, then Avg = (600*20 + 300*10)/30 = 500 or using scale method: Attachment: Ques1.jpg [ 3.77 KiB | Viewed 13934 times ] Stmnt 2 - Average for first 25 days = 540 so you can find for how many of these 25 days, the account balance was 600 and for how many was it 300. The rest of the 5 days, the balance was of course$300. Hence sufficient.

If you want to do the calculations:
Attachment:

Ques2.jpg [ 3.9 KiB | Viewed 13926 times ]

No of days $300 balance : No of days$600 balance = 1:4
So out of 25 days, (1/5)*25 = 5 days, the balance was $300. (4/5)*25 = 20 days the balance was$600.

The average of the 25 days is $540. If the average were$600, only then can we say that the deduction was made after the 25th day. Since the average is less than $600, the deduction must have been made before the 25th day. Only then can the average be less than 600.

1) Jane's payment was credited on the 21st day of the billing cycle.

2) The average daily balance through the 25th day of the billing cycle was $540. Thanks! Long question stem... Though try to identify that the question is just testing you on weighted averages. For some days the account had$600, for rest of the days, the account had $300 in it. We need to find the average of the amount in the account (it is weighted because the two amounts could have been in the account for different durations.) Stmnt 1 - We know now that the account had$600 for 20 days and $300 for the rest of the 10 days. You can easily find the average. Sufficient. You don't need to since it is a DS question, but if you had to find the average, then Avg = (600*20 + 300*10)/30 = 500 or using scale method: Attachment: Ques1.jpg Stmnt 2 - Average for first 25 days = 540 so you can find for how many of these 25 days, the account balance was 600 and for how many was it 300. The rest of the 5 days, the balance was of course$300. Hence sufficient.

If you want to do the calculations:
Attachment:
Ques2.jpg

No of days $300 balance : No of days$600 balance = 1:4
So out of 25 days, (1/5)*25 = 5 days, the balance was $300. (4/5)*25 = 20 days the balance was$600.

Interesting approach but i find the algebraic formula easier. Esp for the second statement. This seems time consuming

On Jane's credit card account, the average daily balance for a 30-day billing cycle is average (arithmetic mean) of the daily balances at the end of the 30 days. At the beginning of a certain 30-day billing cycle, Jane's credit card account had a balance of $600. Jane made a payment of$300 on the account during the billing cycle. If no other amounts were added to or subtracted from the account during the billing cycle, what was average daily balance on Jane's account for the billing cycle?
(1) Jane's payment was credited on the 21st day of the billing cycle.
(2) The average daily balance through the 25th day of the billing cycle was $540. Struggling to solve this. Can you please help? OA is not provided. _________________ Best Regards, E.

The average of the 25 days is $540. If the average were$600, only then can we say that the deduction was made after the 25th day. Since the average is less than $600, the deduction must have been made before the 25th day. Only then can the average be less than 600. Now, it is simple to find the average (even though you don't need to) For 25 days, the average balance was$540 and for 5 days, it was $300. Avg = (540*25 + 300*5)/30 = 500 this is good stuff!

At the beginning of a certain 30-day billing cycle, Jane's credit card account had a balance of$600. Jane made a payment of $300 on the account during the billing cycle. If no other amounts were added to or substracted from the account during the billing cycle, what was the average daily balance on Jane's account for the billing cycle? (1) Jane's payment was credited on the 21st day of the billing cycle. (2) The average daily balance through the 25th day of the billing cycle was$540.

Question basically ask on which day did Jane make the payment of $300. Or algebraically: $$average \ daily \ balance=\frac{x*600+(30-x)*300}{30}$$ --> for the first $$x$$ days the balance will be$600 and then for $$(30-x)$$ days the balance will be $600-$300=$300 (meaning that Jane made a payment of$300 on the (x+1)st day). So all we need to know is on which day did Jane make the payment of $300, the value of x+1. (1) Jane's payment was credited on the 21st day of the billing cycle --> directly gives the value of $$x+1$$ --> $$x+1=21$$ --> $$x=20$$: for 20 days the balance was$600 and for the rest 10 days (from 21st) it was $300 --> we can find the average daily balance. Sufficient. (2) The average daily balance through the 25th day of the billing cycle was$540 --> $$average_{25 \ days}=540=\frac{x*600+(25-x)*300}{25}$$ --> we can find $$x$$ --> we can find the average daily balance. Sufficient.

Bunuel, what is the purpose of the first sentence in the question. Has it been mentioned to simply confuse or am I missing something?
