,more and more computer programs that provide A
solutions to mathematical problems in engineering are
being produced, and it is thus increasingly unnecessary
for practicing engineers to have a thorough
understanding of fundamental mathematical principles.
consequently, in training engineers who will work in
industry, less emphasis should be placed on
mathematical principles, so that space in the engineering
curriculum will be available for other important subjects.
which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens
the argument given for the recommendation above?
a) the effective use of computer programs that provide
solutions to mathematical problems in engineering
requires an understanding of mathematical principles
b) many of the computer programs that provide solutions
to mathematical problems in engineering are already in
routine use
c) development of composites and other such new
materials has meant that th
,researchers examined 100 people suffering from C
herniated disks in their backs. five of them were found to
have a defect in a particular gene. the researchers also
examined 100 people who had no problems with the
disks in their backs; none had the genetic defect. they
concluded that the genetic defect increases the
likelihood of herniated disks.
which of the following, if true, most strengthens the
researchers' reasoning?
a) the researchers also examined a group of 100 people
who did not have the defective gene; 80 were found to
have herniated disks in their backs
b) when the researchers examined a group of 100
people with the defective gene, they found that 2 of them
had herniated disks in their backs
c) when the researchers examined the families of the 5
subjects who had the defective gene, they found that 30
family members also had the defective gene, and each
of them suffered from herniated disks
d) another team
, the mayoral race in Bensburg is a choice between Chu, C
a prodevelopment candidate, and Lewis, who favors
placing greater limits on development. Prodevelopment
candidates have won in the last 6 mayoral elections.
thus, Chu will probably defeat Lewis.
which one of the following statements, if true, most
weakens the argument?
a) Lewis has extensive experience in national politics,
but not in city politics.
b) prodevelopment mayoral candidates in Bensburg
generally attract more financial backing for their
campaigns
c) Bensburg is facing serious new problems that most
voters attribute to overdevelopment
d) Lewis once worked as an aide to a prodevelopment
mayor of Bensburg
e) Chu was not thought of as a prodevelopment politician
before this election
