25. (B). This question is an Analyze the Argument
Structure question; the best approach is to identify
the conclusion, and then check each boldface
portion of the question for how it relates to the
conclusion, and eliminate incorrect answer
choices on that basis. Here, the second boldface
is the conclusion of the argument, as highlighted
by the use of the signal word “Therefore.”
(A) The first boldface is not an assumption, as
assumptions are, by definition, unstated. Also, the
second boldface does not just describe the
argument’s recommended position, it is itself the
conclusion of the argument.
(B) CORRECT. The first boldface is a consideration
that helps explain why companies charge as much
as possible for new designs. The second boldface
presents a different strategy endorsed by the
argument, of charging less than the greatest
possible price to maximize profit.
(C) The first boldface is not an assumption, as
assumptions are, by definition, unstated. The
second boldface is not the strategy referenced in
the first boldface, as this answer choice suggests.

(D) The first boldface does not demonstrate that
the strategy of selling for the greatest price will
not apply, but instead supports it. Also, the
second boldface is the argument’s conclusion
itself, not a factor in support of it.
(E) The description of the first boldface is
accurate; however, the second boldface is not a
factor against the strategy of maximizing profits
by charging the greatest possible price, but an
alternative strategy altogether.

1044 Bot #47 answer and explanation 47. 36.6. To calculate first find thesquared differences between theaverage and the terms. For example,the difference between the average, 4,and the first term, -1, is 5. 52 = 25. Dothis for all four terms.
47. 36.4. To calculate, first find the squareddifferences between the average and each of theterms. For example, there is a difference of 4between the average, which is 3, and the first term,which is -1. The square of this difference is 42 =16. Repeat for the other three terms.
1044 Bot #47 explanation −1: (4 − (−1))2 = 52 = 25 -1: (3 − (-1))2 = 42 = 16
1044 Bot #47 explanation 4: (4 − (0))2 = 42 = 16 4: (3 − (4))2 = (-1)2 = 1
1044 Bot #47 explanation 30: (4 − (30))2 = (−26)2 = 676 30: (3 − (30))2 = (-27)2 = 729

1044 Bot #47 explanation Add all of these terms together: 25 +16 + 676 + 625 = 1,342.
Add all of these terms together: 16 + 1+ 729 + 576= 1,322.
1045 Top #47 explanation Square root of 1342 = 36.633. Square root of 1322 ≈ 36.359.
