Quantitative Information, Graphs, Tables and Data Interpretation

Question 1 of 30

Time left: 00:00

A passage summarizes a research brief: “After City K introduced a late-night bus route, reported rides on the route rose from 18,000 in Month 1 to 27,000 in Month 4. Therefore, the policy increased total public transit use.” Which evaluation best matches rigorous SAT-style quantitative reasoning?

Select one option.

The conclusion is proven because the route rides increased by 9,000, which must raise total transit use.
The route rides increased, but without data on system-wide ridership (and whether rides shifted from other routes), the claim about total transit use may require qualification.
The conclusion is disproven because Month 4 has more days than Month 1.
The conclusion is proven because \(\frac{27{,}000}{18{,}000}=1.5\), so total transit use increased by 50%.
The conclusion is disproven because the data report rides, not revenue.
