QUESTION: 333

Reviewing historical data, medical researchers in California found that counties with the largest number of television sets per capita have had the lowest incidence of a serious brain disease, mosquito-borne encephalitis. The researchers have concluded that people in these counties stay indoors more and thus avoid exposure to the disease.
The researchers’ conclusion would be most strengthened if which of the following were true?

Programs designed to control the size of disease-bearing mosquito populations have not affected the incidence of mosquito borne encephalitis.
The occupations of county residents affect their risk of exposure to mosquito-borne encephalitis more than does television-watching.
The incidence of mosquito-borne encephalitis in counties with the largest number of television sets per capita is likely to decrease even further.
The more time people in a county spend outdoors, the greater their awareness of the dangers of mosquito- borne encephalitis.
The more television sets there are per capita in a county, the more time the average county resident spends watching television.

The statements above best support the conclusion that

the private firms that would handle public transportation would have experience in the transportation industry
political considerations would not prevent private firms from ensuring that revenues cover operating costs
private firms would receive government funding if it were needed to cover operating costs
the public would approve the cost-cutting actions taken by the private firm
the municipal government would not be resigned to accumulating merely enough income to cover costs

QUESTION: 335

To entice customers away from competitors, Red Label supermarkets have begun offering discounts on home appliances to customers who spend $50 or more on any shopping trip to Red Label. Red Label executives claim that the discount program has been a huge success, since cash register receipts of $50 or more are up thirty percent since the beginning of the program.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the claim of the Red Label executives?

Most people who switched to Red Label after the program began spend more than $50 each time they shop at Red Label.
Most people whose average grocery bill is less than $50 would not be persuaded to spend more by any discount program.
Most people who received discounts on home appliances through Red Label’s program will shop at Red Label after the program ends.
Since the beginning of the discount program, most of the people who spend $50 or more at Red Label are people who have never before shopped there and whose average grocery bill has always been higher than $50.
Almost all of the people who have begun spending $50 or more at Red Label since the discount program began are longtime customers who have increased the average amount of their shopping bills by making fewer trips.
