A recent report determined that although only 15% of a town's population resides in low income areas, 20% of all criminals sentenced during the last five years lived in the low income areas. Clearly, people who live in low income areas are more likely to commit criminal activities than those who do not.
The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. People who live in low income areas are less likely to be prosecuted than people who do not.
B. The people living in low income areas cannot afford the costly litigation expenses and their prosecution is more likely to convert into a sentence.
C. On committing a crime, the people living in low income areas are not more likely to be sentenced than people not living in the same.
D. The number of criminal incidents in high income areas was lower than that in low income areas.
E. Many of the criminals sentenced were sentenced more than once in the time period covered in the report.
The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. People who live in low income areas are less likely to be prosecuted than people who do not.
B. The people living in low income areas cannot afford the costly litigation expenses and their prosecution is more likely to convert into a sentence.
C. On committing a crime, the people living in low income areas are not more likely to be sentenced than people not living in the same.
D. The number of criminal incidents in high income areas was lower than that in low income areas.
E. Many of the criminals sentenced were sentenced more than once in the time period covered in the report.
