4. According to a recent survey, marriage is fattening. Cited as evidence is the survey's finding that the average woman gains 23 pounds and the average man gains 18 pounds during 13 years of marriage. The answer to which of the following questions would be most relevant in evaluating the reasoning presented in the survey? (A) Why was the period of time studied in the survey 13 years, rather than 12 or 14? (B) Did some of the men surveyed gain less than 18 pounds during the time they were married? (C) How much weight is gained or lost in 13 years by single people of comparable age to those surveyed? (D) Were the women surveyed as active as the men surveyed, at the time the survey was made? (E) Will the reported gains be maintained over the lifetimes of the persons surveyed?
这个题可以理解点,不过感觉都不透彻,人云亦云的 答案C 根据一个最近的调查,结婚就是肥胖。据调查,女性在13年的婚姻里平均增重23磅,男性平均增重18磅。 问评价 C:单个人的体重变化(假设这样一种情况,调查选取的样本中,有2胖子,5个瘦子,胖子在13年利增重80斤,另外5个瘦子减肥10斤,平均下来,得出的数据是女性的平均体重增加,但是女性是不是都是结婚后肥胖呢,除了那两胖子以外,大家都在减肥) 所以C可以削弱答案。 再看,如果样本的女性,单人的体重都是在增加的,那么说明女性确实是在结婚后变胖,又加强了结论。 这样的答案,两种可能能得出加强和削弱结论的效果的选项,就是选项的答案。 根据一个最近的调查,结婚就是肥胖。据调查,女性在13年的婚姻里平均增重23磅,男性平均增重18磅。 问评价 C:单个人的体重变化(假设这样一种情况,调查选取的样本中,有2胖子,5个瘦子,胖子在13年利增重80斤,另外5个瘦子减肥10斤,平均下来,得出的数据是女性的平均体重增加,但是女性是不是都是结婚后肥胖呢,除了那两胖子以外,大家都在减肥) 所以C可以削弱答案。 再看,如果样本的女性,单人的体重都是在增加的,那么说明女性确实是在结婚后变胖,又加强了结论。 这样的答案,两种可能能得出加强和削弱结论的效果的选项,就是选项的答案。 |
