Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone would be down to study together. I'm taking the October LSAT and it's coming up pretty quickly. I'd love to review with someone! Lmk, my schedule is pretty flexible but it'd have to be somewhere midtown, maybe like a cafe or something. I go to JJAY!
This took me so long to understand, but I think I got it. In the given sentence, the necessary condition is "Students are cited as 'late' if they arrive more than five minutes past the last ring of the homeroom bell." This condition is necessary for a student to be cited as "late." But that condition alone doesn't guarantee that Kumar is late because we need a sufficient condition. That's we couldn't make a definitive inference with the other statement (he came 17 min after the last ring). Right?
In the conditional statement, the sufficient condition is "Kumar has been properly cited as 'late'." This condition is sufficient to conclude that Kumar arrived more than five minutes past the last ring of the homeroom bell. In other words, if Kumar has been properly cited as "late," it is sufficient to infer that he arrived more than five minutes past the last ring of the homeroom bell.
I'm still confused about one thing though. A necessary condition alone can't guarantee the outcome but is meeting the sufficient condition alone, enough to guarantee the outcome? Do you need to satisfy both conditions to make a definitive inference, or is satisfying the sufficient condition enough too? #help
