The Asian American History Association receives [#permalink]
 24 Mar 2005, 15:21
Question Stats:
0% (00:00) correct
 0% (00:00) wrong based on 0 sessions
The Asian American History Association receives approximately 1,000 proposals each year from individuals who wish to present papers at its annual meeting. The association’s officers would like to ensure constant standards of quality in the presentations from year to year. The officers have therefore decided to accept for presentation each year only the best 300 papers selected on the basis of the quality of the proposals submitted.
Of the following, the best criticism of the officers’ plan is that the plan assumes that
(A) Professional associations cannot accept all papers submitted for presentation at their annual meetings.
(B) The total number of proposals submitted to the association will remain at approximately 1,000 in future years.
(C) Each proposal submitted to the association deserves to be considered a serious candidate for presentation.
(D) It is difficult to judge the quality of a paper on the basis of the proposal alone.
(E) The best 300 papers submitted to the association for presentation will be of the same quality from year to year.

they should say 30% of the paprers will be kept instead of 300.
If tomorrow there are 300 papers, they will take 100% of the submitted papers ?

pick E.
if the quality of the best 300 papers is decreasing from year to year, we can make sure a constant quality.

Hi, if the numbers of papers sent were only 300, we still can make sure the constant qualify as long as the quality from year to year is not decreasing.
But if the quality from year to year is decreasing, we cannot make sure the quality. right?
The numbers of papers don't matter.
