I want to take this opportunity to ask whether people notice the 'mistake' identified by Medentry in ACER test 1 Q4 saying D is correct? I think they directly contradicted themselves?
Answer D: Those who attend church once every few years – that is, less than once a year – form 17.4 % of the population. The number of people who attend church more than three times a year includes ‘several times a year’, and all categories that attend more frequently. That is, (9.0 + 2.6 + 3.1 + 4.7 + 9.8 + 2.8 + 0.6) % = 32.6 %, which is significantly more than 17.4 %. This would mean that D is also a correct answer.
The wording of the answer is saying: 17.4% (once every few years) is greater than 32.6% (more than 3 times a year) which is false and shouldn't be the answer as Medentry claims it to be?
Also I really don't understand Q16
Medentry explanation:
Answer: C
In this question, let us once again test each answer:
Answer A: If this statement were true, we would expect people to pick the rental properties at random, which would result in each property getting picked in almost equal proportions. This is not the case.
Answer B: If people chose Q simply because it was closer to work than R, we would expect people to pick P in favour of Q, because it is even closer to work than Q. This was not the case, so this is not the correct option.
Answer C: This statement fits the results given, and correctly explains why the appearance of a new property such as R would change people’s decision-making. This is the correct answer.
Answer D: We have no reason to believe that transport costs from R would be disproportionately higher than from Q. This is not the correct answer.
OK if they pick between Q and R, then why do some pick P?
Isn't the order:
R(even further but more expensive) Q(further from work but cheaper) P(expensive close to work)
If people chose between Q and R, then why does 30% choose P? Its not between Q and R...
I thought its A because if it confused people, people won't pick it then they would pick only between Q and P
Anyway, perhaps I completely missed the idea of the question...
