I don't understand why is it that we assume they come from different geographical regions. Can't it be the case that all the subjects come from California and overestimated? Then the hypothesis that there are some parts of the nation that have lots of cars can still hold through because some is 1 or greater than 1.
First, he assumes that people he gathered are from different regions in the nations
Second, he assumes that these people in the experiment actually own "the common car" in their respective regions
Third, he assumes that owning a common car in a region, would actually lead to think that the car is more common in the nation. In other words, he assumes the theory of familiarity actually works to affect not only to what is common in the region but also what is common in the whole nation.
Overthought this one a tad bit, since I thought this one was trying to trick me like previous question with the last 2 AC. "You won't trick me this," to which they indeed ended up tricking me.
Can't believe I got this wrong. Of course he is assuming that they are from a wide variety of regions and that's why he comes to his hypothesis! So it's not that he fails to take it into account..... will note for next time
I was leaning towards B to begin with, but did POE just to be sure. I feel like there were more descriptively inaccurate answer choices this time around, making POE faster than usual.
My immediate reaction to the researcher's argument was "Hold on and slow down there, bud. You didn't provide anything. Why are you treating it as if a few results prove your hypothesis? What about disproving the multiple possible null hypotheses?"
THIS FELT LIKE LEVEL 10 DIFFICULTY, so easy to get lost in the weeds of the stimulus vs: focusing on the argument omg. got it correct on BR, but it took me a while

took an extra minute but got it
three in a row correct, my brain is braining today
I don't understand why is it that we assume they come from different geographical regions. Can't it be the case that all the subjects come from California and overestimated?

Surprised at how high the correct AC % was. This was the hardest one for me so far
actually thought about doing it after this question
There are insane amount of assumptions here:
First, he assumes that people he gathered are from different regions in the nations
Second, he assumes that these people in the experiment actually own "the common car" in their respective regions
Third, he assumes that owning a common car in a region, would actually lead to think that the car is more common in the nation. In other words, he assumes the theory of familiarity actually works to affect not only to what is common in the region but also what is common in the whole nation.
But the answer choices discuss non of these
I am soooo back!
100% recommend printing out and reading through Flaw Questions Cheat Sheet https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/flaw-or-descriptive-weakening-questions/argument-flaw-cheat-sheet
Questions are ofc still hard but with this it is much easier to see the flaw right away
weirdly this one was the hardest for me so far
Um
Overthought this one a tad bit, since I thought this one was trying to trick me like previous question with the last 2 AC. "You won't trick me this," to which they indeed ended up tricking me.
Got it in BR, but at what cost?
Good day to be a psych major
this was so ez to me but the past couple have been kicking my ass, I guess its cuz I understood this one more?
For this one and the last one I was between a wrong choice and correct answer and chose the wrong one twice 😩
I can def. see how Flaw questions encompass all skills. Now that we've gotten here, to go back over the previous sections may seem easier
Can't believe I got this wrong. Of course he is assuming that they are from a wide variety of regions and that's why he comes to his hypothesis! So it's not that he fails to take it into account..... will note for next time
I have a month to get flaw question types on lock oof
whot
I finally got one right after doing POE. But I still felt so unsure. It feels like im playing Russian roulette >_<
sigh
Finally got one right instead of narrowing down to two AC's and then choosing the wrong one!
I was leaning towards B to begin with, but did POE just to be sure. I feel like there were more descriptively inaccurate answer choices this time around, making POE faster than usual.

Take his degree away.
We are so back
