Hello Carcass, could we have the answer for this question please?
My logic thinking leads to answer A instead of D:
If X = Y then the mean will always be $0.35, which is already > 0.34.
However, the question stated that Y > X, meaning that the mean is even bigger than $0.35, which indicates the answer is A.
