PT15.S3.Q08 - Delta green ground beetles

stan16888

When reading the stimulus, I thought that the "population" meant all of the delta green ground beetles. How am I supposed to know that the "population" refers just to the observed number of delta green ground beetles?

I think it's one of those quirks of the LSAT where we're not supposed to extrapolate beyond what's given in the stimulus. So in this context, we don't know anything about the entire population of beetles - just the discrete population the observer spots in the two different years.
