Motorized TM 维修 做了一个调查,motorized TM 十年中10%需要维修,non-motorized TM 只有2%需要维修。如果人们想在日常使用中不被disruptor disrupt更少,就应该用non-motorized。问assumption 选项有 P:调查显示,motorized TM需要维修的比例更高 C:如果想要不被disrupt,就应该用non-motorized Gap:控制样本了吗? 是否motorized TM的使用率更高呢? A:做survey的这些人,买motorized的和买non-motorized的一样多 B: 买motorizedTM的人没有比买non-motorizedTM的人用的次数更多 B
