GWD30-14

camilla2006

Background information:  This year, each film submitted to the Barbizon Film Festival was submitted in one of ten categories.  For each category, there was a panel that decided which submitted films to accept.

 

Fact 1:  Within each category, the rate of acceptance for domestic films was the same as that for foreign films.

Fact 2:  The overall rate of acceptance of domestic films was significantly higher than that of foreign films.

 

In light of the background information, which of the following, if true, can account for fact 1 and fact 2 both being true of the submissions to this year’s Barbizon Film Festival?

 

1. In each category, the selection panel was composed of filmmakers, and some selection panels included no foreign filmmakers.
2. Significantly more domestic films than foreign films were submitted to the festival.
3. In each of the past three years, the overall acceptance rate was higher for foreign than for domestic films, an outcome that had upset some domestic filmmakers.
4. The number of films to be selected in each category was predetermined, but in no category was it required that the acceptance rate of foreign films should equal that of domestic films.
5. Most foreign films, unlike most domestic films, were submitted in categories with high prestige, but with correspondingly low rates of acceptance.

不知道为什么选E. 我选b. 是答案错了吗？请教思路。

我理解的Fact 1中的the rate of acceptance 和Fact 2中的The overall rate of acceptance 可以用如下例子：

the rate of acceptance：

                  Domestic:        Foreign:

catagory 1:   10/20             1/2

catagory 2:    20/60            1/3

只举2个。

The overall rate of acceptance：

Domestic:  10+20/20+60+2+3=6/17

Foreign: 1+1/20+60+2+3=2/85

说明了选项B是正确的吧。请给我看看对不对。

B不对

数量多不意味着通过的几率就大，如果都是垃圾片，数量再多也不会有多少会通过

E某种程度上是对FACT2的改写

FACT1是句废话，一视同仁是一句废话，意思就是只要片子好，大家都有机会通过panel

B is not right. This problem is very tricky. I bet most of the 老外 will become 头疼.

Look at : 

 Fact 2) The overall rate of acceptance of domestic films was significantly higher than that of foreign films.

then look at:  

 B) Significantly more domestic films than foreign films were submitted to the festival

It is obviously impossible to get B right when you consider that in every catergory they both have the same rate as claimed by Fact 1. If B is changed to the opposite: Less domestic films than foreign films were submitted to the festival.  Then B can be right.

This problem is just a matter of manipulating the numbers.

your example was not right b/c your acceptance rates are different in both catergories.

Look at the example below:

      Domestic: 1:   8/80            9/90         30/300

Foreign:   2:   2/20            1/10         70/700

Do the math yourself , you will see the difference.

The correct answer is E

还是没明白，如果E对，那就与Fact 1违背了呀。问的是哪个一能让F1和F2对满足。再请指点。

The rate of acceptance within each category and the overall rate of acceptance of all categories are totally different.

in E, "in categories with high prestige" seems to be the key to evaluate this issue.

还是用中文描述吧.

Fact 1:  Within each category, the rate of acceptance for domestic films was the same as that for foreign films.

我的理解是,每个分类里面,国内电影的和国外电影的通过率是一样的.

Fact 2:  The overall rate of acceptance of domestic films was significantly higher than that of foreign films.

我的理解是,国内电影的整体通过率高过国国外电影.

好,我具实际例子:假设3类影片,动作片,卡通片,言情片.

	动作片	卡通片	言情片	合计
国外电影提交数量	20	2	20	2)" style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 1pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent;">42
国外电影通过审核	2	1	15	3)" style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 1pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent;">18
通过率	10%	50%	75%	42.86%
国内电影提交数量	80	90	100	6)" style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 1pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent;">270
国内电影通过审核	8	45	75	7)" style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 1pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent;">128
通过率	10%	50%	75%	47.41%

E中"low rates of acceptance",是一个绝对概念,就是说,他的意思不是本组的国内和国外电影比,而是说本来应该高一些的.

而B的错误在于根本和题目没关系.

我多提交怎么了,少点又何妨?

而E描述其实就是个废话概念.哈哈,因为不需要他说,其实(上表)就已经能形成fact1和fact2同时成立.

也就是说,E也就是评论者的角度说说话而已.

好比,同样5部优秀电影在欧洲多国都通过了(通过率100%),但是在中国,才通过4部80%,正好国内情况也是提交

100通过80部,通过率也是80%. "with correspondingly low rates of acceptance"就是说其实应该高一些的,和欧洲比,国内通过率低了.

希望我的解释正确,也希望能看懂我描述的.........

B and E are related to the topic in the question but E is point to bridge the two facts
