Answer 1

I believe the answer is seven

Answer 2

The correct answer is 7 plus or minus two. You should pick D but you better know what plus or minus two means.

It is a statistical piece of information. The average amount of information held by short term memory is usually 7 but there is a variance of 2, which translates into 5 to 9.

Pick D.
