Question #0003

Thom: We should be wary of applicants from Barnom.
Overall, our experience with past Barnom students has
indicated that they are generally less well prepared than
they need to be for the rigors of our program.

Floyd: That’s not true. Ana was a Barnom student, and
she was unanimously believed to be as well prepared as
anyone when she began our program.

Which one of the following best describes a flaw in
Floyd’s response to Thom?

He presumes, without providing justification, that
a single counter-example strongly weakens a
general statement about a group.

He presumes, without providing justification, that
if there is one very well prepared student from
Barnom, there must be many others who are
equally prepared.

He presumes, without providing justification, that
the school a student attends must be responsible
for the student’s degree of preparedness.

He presumes, without providing justification, that
Thom’s conclusion is motivated by bias rather
than reliable data.

He presumes, contrary to the evidence of the data,
that no school is worse than any other school at
preparing its students.
