But the number of refugees drastically increased from 2000-2005 right? So isn't that enough to hypothesize that the countries surrounding it may not be politically and socially stable?
pearrrrrrr
1. Country T had the fewest refugees/asylum seekers in each of the three years listed. >> ranked by 1995, 2000, 2005 column, we'll see that T did not have the fewest refugees in any years.


2. For the twenty countries listed, the median number of refugees/asylum seekers in 2005 was 245,986. >> ranked by 2005 column, see the 10th and 11th ones: the median should be 240,xxx which is less than 245,986 - don't have to compute actual med


3. The data support the claim that the countries neighboring Country M were politically and socially stable between 2000 and 2005. >> No : Do not draw inference outside of the info given.­

No part of question stem explicitly mentions this claim or points us to this conclusion. There is no argument supporting or opposing this statement => Out of scope. Also nowhere in the question is mentioned to infer anything related to stability, much less about politically and socially stable. This is also a general thumb rule in Data Insights questions.

1. How do we not conclude, by extrapolation, that it could be economic stability rather than political/social stability?
2. Maybe it could be that in the given list of countries refugee influx increases (as seen for country M in year 2005) when country is more unstable compared to previous year? Again, which kind of instability are we talking about?
