逻辑 Critical Reasoning-12171

标记
Following several years of declining advertising sales, the Greenville Times reorganized its advertising sales force two years ago. Before the reorganization, the sales force was organized geographically, with some sales representatives concentrating on city-center businesses and others concentrating on different outlying regions. The reorganization attempted to increase the sales representatives' knowledge of clients' businesses by having each sales representative deal with only one type of industry or of retailing. After the reorganization, advertising sales increased.

In assessing whether the improvement in advertising sales can properly be attributed to the reorganization, it would be helpful to find out each of the following EXCEPT:

【选项】Two years ago, what proportion of the Greenville Times's total revenue was generated by advertising sales?

选项是否正确?

  • 正确
  • 错误

所谓无关,就是无论A怎么变化,都不影响原文的结果。 proportion大or小,只要广告sales increase了,就可能和recognization有关 proportion大,广告sales增加,能说明recognization的作用 proprtion小,广告sales增加,同样不能否定recognization的作用 此外,d。如果销售人员对所有的type of business都应付自如,说明不是reorganization的功劳

只要绝对数字大了,比例大不大无所谓

和sales的产生收入的绝对值有关,所占比例无法反应绝对值。比如,整体收入100,广告是10占10%。现在整体收入是10000,广告占1%就是100了。

不需要知道两年前广告收入的占比,和收入提高无关

plan:销售人员【sales force】由分区域变成分行业➡️goal:增加广告sales➡️广告收入占总收入比重➡️无关【数量不等于比例】

这道题是评价一个方案的作用,因为其他四个选项都体现出了变化,只有a项没有,并且知不知道这个对结论并没有影响,首先你要与两年后的数据相比,才能说明问题,再者文章关注的是收入的绝对值而不是占比,最后就是我们现在需要用理由解释变化是否归因于重组,所以需要找的是原因,而不是结果本身。

如果总体sales增加了,广告sales也增加了,就不能说重组有用

要能说明整改后是否引起销量变化才可以

比例代替不了数量,一定要小心这个陷阱 这里需要看的是advertising sales 绝对值如何上升,而不是比例如何上升。

(e) is definitely relevant: if there has been substantial and rapid economic growth, then this could cause a spike in advertising sales that's not at all related to the internal reorganization of the sales department. therefore, we need to know whether this has happened in order to properly determine cause and effect. (a) doesn't matter: we don't care about any other revenue, besides advertising-sales revenue. and even if we did care about those types of revenue, the proportion still wouldn't tell us anything at all about whether, or by how much, advertising sales revenue has gone up or down. either of these two reasons is enough to eliminate this choice; the combination of both is absolutely beyond all doubt.
