Yes. Let's say you have 100 things, 51 ( the lowest threshold of most) of those things have quality X, and 51 (again, most) of them have quality Y. This leaves at least 1 (some) things that have both quality X and Y. Just be careful that you are indeed comparing apples to apples, as the LSAT loves to throw in the occasional curve ball and discuss similar terms as if they are the same (like discussing pets after mentioning dogs, hoping you will make a logical leap and not notice that they are not necessarily the same). I hope that is clear.

Sorry, I reread my explanation and it's pretty poor. I'll come back to this after coffee.

Nevermind, @sarakimmel 's explanation is far more straightforward.
