A recent report determined that although only 3 percent of drivers on Maryland highways equipped their vehicles with radar detectors, 33 percent of all vehicles ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were equipped with them. Clearly, drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who do not.
The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions?
171. a recent report determined that although only three percent of drivers on maryland highways equipped their vehicles with radar detectors, thirty-three percent of all vehicles ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were equipped with them. clearly, drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who do not. the conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions? (a) drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are less likely to be ticketed for exceeding the speed limit than are drivers who do not. (b) drivers who are ticketed for exceeding the speed limit are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who are not ticketed. (c) the number of vehicles that were ticketed for exceeding the speed limit was greater than the number of vehicles that were equipped with radar detectors. (d) many of the vehicles that were ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were ticketed more than once in the time period covered by the report. (e) drivers on maryland highways exceeded the speed limit more often than did drivers on other state highways not covered in the report.
Answer: B 以前的帖子都看了,解释都不令人信服
assumption 的解法要求[not] A >> [not] B, 以前的帖子都没人说推论的过程,希望高人指点
notice the GAP between evidence and conclusion in the passage... evidence tell us that cars equipped with radar receive more ticket than those without radar conclusion is that car equipped with radar are more likely to exceed speed limit..
there is a GAP between receiving tickets and exceeding speed limit..the assumption is a bridge to connect such jump...
这道题我想通了,不过跟你的想法有些不同,我原来认为结论和你的一样是 >>conclusion is that car equipped with radar are more likely to exceed speed limit[装了雷达的车更容易超速] 按照这个结论将答案取非“被开了罚单的司机不比没被开罚单的司机容易超速”,则个前提和结论没有必然联系,即直接推出。当然这里有可能性,但是按照ETS的逻辑思维前提与结论要能直接推出,这是逻辑,否则通过一番论证再得出答案,那是哲学。所以按早我以前的这种想法肯定有理解上的问题。 但是经过仔细研究结论,在以前的一个铁字的提示下明白结论是 drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are more likely to exceed the speed limit [ regularly ] than are drivers who do not. 要注意我扩起来的 regularly, 这里强调了一个频率,即结论是:车装了雷达的司机比车没装雷达的司机更可能经常超速。所以修正前面取非后的前提:被开了罚单的司机不比没被开罚单的司机更可能经常超速。也就是说所有的司机超速的频率性都是一样的,当让也推出结论部成立
