Answer 2

what does it mean "from the selection below", are answer options?

Answer 3

Yea kind of confused on that too.

Answer 4

sorry

Answer 5

a.
True; Young men are involved in road accidents every day
c.
False; Young men are not involved in all road accidents
b.
False; Women were not included in study
d.
True; Young women are involved in the other half of road accidents, but it was not mentioned

Answer 6

The key here is that young men were found to be responsible 57% of the time THEY WERE INVOLVED, so not every accident can be their fault or even 50% their fault

Answer 7

so...it's D?

Answer 8

I'd say D fits best

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

I'd put the second option. Young men weren't in all accidents, and they are only responsible for over half when they are involved, so they probably aren't responsible for over half of the accidents

Answer 11

c or b?

Answer 12

@caseyrt It did say "57%" didn't it?

Answer 13

only when they were involved. You can say they are responsible over half the time when they are involved, but you can't generalize and say they are responsible for over half of all accidents, because they aren't involved in all accidents.

Answer 14

False; Young men are not involved in all road accidents

is the answer I would give.
