Question:

Legislator: We recently evaluated the impact that an amendment to a particular national legislation would have on the population, by undertaking a survey in the most populous state of the country as well as a nation-wide survey. We were unable to get any information from the national survey results. However, we found that the response to the amendment was highly promising in the state-wide survey. We concluded that the national population’s response would be promising as well. The Legislator’s reasoning does which of the following ?

  • infers a statistical generalisation by deploying statistical tools to different data sets
  • bases the prediction about the impact of a phenomenon on the impact of the phenomenon’s cause.
  • makes a prediction about future events on facts from multiple recent comparable events.
  • uses evidence from a case where direct evidence is available to make a conclusion about a dissimilar case where direct evidence is not available.
