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.

1025 Top #13 answer 13. 225,000. 13. 250,000.

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.

1045 Top #47 answer ...round to the nearest tenth, so theanswer is 36.6.
