Question in exam prep book

[adam schweitzer]

There's a question in unit 5 that asks what the cross sectional area is for one 1/0 XHHW compact conductor. Isn't the answer .1590 according to table 5A? The book says to look in table 5 but XHHW is not a compact conductor in table 5. The book gave these options for answers, .0117, .1352, .2733, .5216

You will find mistakes often--even more often once you get better at figuring out problems. If this is a Mike Holt book, I'm sure the correction has been made, and revised in some form.

Thanks. I thought I had it right. I think I looked for about 20 minutes to see if it was listed somewhere else.
