70. A low-pressure weather system is approaching Plainville; rainfall results from about 70 percent of such systems in the Plainville area. Moreover, the current season, spring, is the time of year in which thundershowers, which sometimes result from low-pressure systems, are most likely to occur in Plainville. Knowing which one of the following, in addition to the information above, would be most useful for determine the probability that Plainville will have a thundershower soon? (A) the percentage of thundershowers in Plainville that occur in the spring (B) the percentage of spring rainfalls in Plainville that are thundershowers (C) the percentage of thundershowers in Plainville that result from low-pressure systems (D) whether low-pressure systems in other areas are associated with rainfall (C) (E) whether Plainville has more or fewer thundershowers each spring than do near by towns 答案是C,但我有疑问,为什么不是B?
费费解释里说C与低压天气联系了,B没有与低压天气联系,所以C对,B不对。
问题是,为什么要与低压天气联系?题目的意思是哪个选项+原文条件,能推出“出现雷阵雨的概率”的结论。原文条件是:低压天气里降雨的概率;B是:某地区春天降雨里出现雷阵雨的概率。即使用数学知识,也一眼看出以上两者相乘,就能得出低压天气飘到某地区后,如果下雨的话,下的是雷阵雨的概率是多少。
再来看C。C是说低压天气里下雷阵雨的概率,有这个条件的话,根本就不需要原文条件“低压天气里降雨的概率”了,因为低压天气里的雷阵雨概率,必定是低压天气里下雨概率的子集。而题目要求的是“雷阵雨的概率”,也就是说选了C的话,就没有必要用原文给出的条件了。
再一个,用C的话,根本没有结合“春天降雨概率”这个概念。照C的说法,低压天气中雷阵雨的概率,就担保在春天的时候,一定是这个概率吗?
