SAT Math: not enough information to answer

This option shows up now and then.

e) information is not sufficient to answer

Is this ever the correct answer? I've done a few SAT math sections and this has never been the correct answer.

that has come up for me on a SAT II Math level 1 test and the answer was in fact E) not enough information. Despite the fact that it seldom comes up, you cannot say that it's never the answer.

think of it as the "no error" choice in writing, albeit much (MUCH!) rarer as the correct answer in math. Choose it if it seems right, but always check it again at the end because, as you said, it probably isn't the right answer xDD

^the two posts above do not confirm that this has actually been an answer before on SAT math

has anyone actually taken a real SAT where this was the correct answer for a math question?

When it's the choice for a hard lvl question, 99% chance it's not the answer.

Yea, there was this probability question. I don't remember it very well but I think it said something like find the probability of something being chosen from a certain number but it didn't give the number of the things to be chosen That was a really easy question so it shouldn't give you any problems, but don't eliminate "not enough info" choices automatically, they might be the correct answers.
