PT2.S2.Q17 - The advanced technology of ski boots

emmagardner237

Can anyone help me on this question? I tried looking it up, but can't find it anywhere.

The advanced technology of ski boots and bindings has
brought a dramatic drop in the incidence of injuries that
occur on the slopes of ski resorts: from 9 injuries per 1,000
skiers in 1950 to 3 in 1980.

lets pretend its 100 instead of a 1000. If 9 out of 100 skiers got injured on the slope in 1950s and 3 out of 100 got injured on the sloped in the 1980s then you had a 9% chance in the 1950s of getting injured on the sloped versus 3% chance in the 1980s. A skier was more likely to be injured on the slopes in the 1950s than the 1980s. B is the answer. The difficulty with this question is that they throw a lot of unnecessary information in the stimulus. So key in on what exactly each AC is saying and compare it to what is stated in the stimulus.
