Companies O and P each have the same number of employees who work the same number of hours per week. According to records maintained by each company, the employees of Company O had fewer job-related accidents last year than did the employees of Company P. Therefore, employees of Company O are less likely to have job-related accidents than are employees of Company P.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion above?

Therefore, employees of Company O are less likely to have job-related accidents than are employees of Company P.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion?
(A) The employees of Company P lost more time at work due to job-related accidents than did the employees of Company O.
(B) Company P considered more types of accidents to be job-related than did Company O.
(C) The employees of Company P were sick more often than were the employees of Company O.
(D) Several employees of Company O each had more than one job-related accident.
(E) The majority of job-related accidents at Company O involved a single machine.
(A) The employees of Company P lost more time at work due to job-related accidents than did the employees of Company O. 比较的范错误的多少和可能性的问题,和犯错误浪费了多少时间无关 (B) Company P considered more types of accidents to be job-related than did Company O. 正确,P公司接触的错误的种类更多所以每一种错误的犯错率不一定高 (C) The employees of Company P were sick more often than were the employees of Company O. 员工的体质状况属于无关 (D) Several employees of Company O each had more than one job-related accident. 只是说了几名员工不具有代表性 (E) The majority of job-related accidents at Company O involved a single machine. 机器不能对结论产生削弱作用
我是从概率的角度看的,因为问题中提到了less likely to.所以应该是job related accidents/all accidents (A) The employees of Company P lost more time at work due to job-related accidents than did the employees of Company O. 说因为job-related accidents,Company P的人损失更多工作时间,是说它造成的结果,对原文无作用 (B) Company P considered more types of accidents to be job-related than did Company O. 可以直接作用削弱原文,说P公司相比O公司把更多accidents算成job-related.所以公式的分子变大了,P公司的概率就大了. (C) The employees of Company P were sick more often than were the employees of Company O. P员工生病比O多,和accidents没什么关系 (D) Several employees of Company O each had more than one job-related accident. 几个O公司的人出工作意外的次数不止一次.这个方向确实反了,因为O公司有猛将"以1顶2,顶3",结果数量还不及P公司的accidents多,只能让我更加相信O比P less likely.因为即使假设O公司的其他人没有发生一次job-related意外(不可能发生负意外抵消),P公司要比O多,一定要有个人或集体上比这several employees发生更多job-related意外才行. (E) The majority of job-related accidents at Company O involved a single machine. 机器有什么用不知道.
