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?
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.
这个题我是完全不知道是什么个逻辑关系,答案是B,我怎么觉得B和题目中的结论是一样的??
我是这么因为的,如果“超速”一事按照样本平均值来分析,由题目的内容,Maryland vehicles 3% equip with radar, 那么应该有3%的超速被罚事件equip with radar.但是事实却是33%超速被罚事件with radar.因此,得出pre-conclusion, drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are more likely to exceed the speed limit than are drivers who do not.
这个pre-conclusion和conclusion之间有一个jumpover,即副词regularly
B make up for the jumpover.
