G: The group of works exhibited in this year’s Metropolitan Art Show reveals a bias in favor of photographers. █████ ███████ ██ ██████████████ ██████████ ███ ████████ █████████ █████ ████ ███ ███ ███████████ ████████ ███ ███ █████ ███ ████ ███████████ ████ █████████ ████ ██████ ██████████ ██ ██████████ ██ ███ █████ ████ ██████ ███ ███████ ██ ██████ ████ ██ ███ ██████ █████

Summary

This MBT question takes the form of a dialogue between “G” and “H”. G thinks the Met art show is biased because more photographs were shown despite equal submissions between photographs, sculptures, and paintings. So it seems like photographs were selected at higher rates despite applying at the same rate. H counters this accusation of bias by informing us that all and only those works that met the traditional criteria were submitted. An all and only statement indicates a biconditional, in this case: met criteria ←→ exhibited. Every application that met the criteria was exhibited, and every exhibited artwork met the criteria. In that case it seems like, rather than bias, more sculptures and paintings just didn’t meet the traditional criteria this year. Since the criteria is traditional, we can infer it is the same as prior years, and therefore doesn’t represent a change that could be biased.
