A test of the National Weather Service's storm detecting radar systems found that the 1957 system is ten times more reliable than the new computerized system. Therefore, the technology used in the new radar system must be less sophisticated than the radar technology used in the 1957 system.
The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following questionable assumptions?
(A) The reliability of storm-detecting radar systems is determined by the frequency of breakdowns.
(B) The level of sophistication of the technology used in storm-detecting radar systems can be determined from the reliability of the system.
(C) The reliability of storm-detecting radar systems is determined by their accuracy in predicting weather patterns.
(D) Computer hardware is now a key component of the new storm-detecting radar systems used by weather forecasting services.
(E) Most of the significant advances in storm detecting radar systems technology were made in the 1950's.

Premise: The test conducted revealed that the 1957 system is ten times more reliable than the new computerized system.
Conclusion: The technology used in the new radar system must be less sophisticated than the radar technology used in the 1957 system.
Assumption: The sophistication of technology depends on the reliability of the model.
