update?

where are we asking to be added? add me please!

Hmm… I remember removing B as an option due to it seemingly doing the opposite of what I thought it needed to do. This might have been the first option I removed, actually. A , which I selected, was too specific and obscure. It assumes that the prediction accuracy is related to the abundance (or rather, lack) of evidence, which is not explicitly stated in the stimulus. Nota Bene: be mindful to note that inverse relationships can be stated either way in the future. MS => LA means ~MS => ~LA ( more specific(prediction); less accurate(prediction) ) . Practice is needed in recognizing the conditional relationships without conditional language. Clear contrapositive.

Hmmm I see why A is correct but not why D is wrong

B is wrong because we don’t know the “stated expectations” of the researchers. Telling ppl to follow directions says nothing about their expectations as per results. Also, saying that the crim is not in the lineup is still not setting an expectation… plusr B does nothing to show diff between groups. Also, “tend” is too strong for MSS, as is “most” in C. C also does not … just no. E is weaker which is good for MSS, descr accurate , and speaks to the difference between the two groups .

I'm having a lot of trouble designing inferences, which is on me because I haven't practiced this skill as much as I should. I felt lost when I got to this question, and I usually have to go back to the stimulus multiple times while cross-referencing ACs (because I don't really know what makes an inference proper vs improper), which is a pretty bad time sink. Do you have any advice on how I could approach MBTs and MSSs with less fear ?
