Hi All,

Having serious problems with figuring out this question. E is the right answer, but I chose B. My thinking for B is that it may have been a coincidence that all three times Monroe had eaten at Tip-Top, was already ill beforehand but was not obvious until after. So having not eliminated this possibility, I thought, was the flaw. Although i can see how E works, I am still not entirely convinced and definitely do not feel it is a better answer than B. Can anyone please explain to me how they went about thinking about this question?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Having a bit of trouble getting my head around this question. Originally chose B, but correct answer is C. Had a bit of a crack at it, anyone please elaborate or correct me on my thinking!

Basically, the argument is assuming what is true of the stats for the sample is true when the test is used for the general public. However, the argument does not provide any information/we do not have any way of confirming whether this is correct when applied to the general public, hence its flaw is '(C) fails to take into account what proportion of the population have used cocaine'.

Hey all,

When I skip a question with the intention of coming back to it after, I lightly circle the question number on the answer sheet. If I don't do this, find myself wasting a bit of time when going back for bubbling in round 2 as I can't see instantly where the 'missing' bubble is. I know it says 'make no stray marks' on top of the AC sheet, but was just wondering if this would interfere with the scantron, or the proctor would pull me up on it?

Thanks
