OG16 OG17 OG18 OG19 OG20 OG2022	A study of ticket sales at a summer theater festival found that people who bought tickets to individual plays had a no-show rate of less than 1 percent, while those who paid in advance for all ten plays being performed that summer had a no-show rate of nearly 30 percent. This may be at least in part because the greater the awareness customers retain about the cost of an item, the more likely they are to use it.Which of the following would, if true, best serve as an alternative explanation of the results of the study?
Ready4	Which of the following most logically completes the argument? Pasteurization greatly reduces the number of potentially disease-causing microbes in milk. However, it destroys enzymes that contribute to immunity and also digestive enzymes, such as lactase, that aid the body in assimilating milk's nutrients. Some parties, pointing out that for some milk drinkers, such as infants, the risks of drinking unpasteurized milk outweigh the benefits, conclude too hastily that unpasteurized milk is too dangerous to allow on the market, overlooking the fact that _______________.
Ready4	Geologists believe that one of the largest volcanic eruptions in human history occurred 74,000 years ago, the Toba supereruption. In one area, Middle Paleolithic tools of similar styles have been found and dated to closely before and after the Toba supereruption, indicating that the humans who lived after the supereruption were members of the population that had lived in that area prior to the eruption. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
Ready4	This year, our company has moved its call center service team from within the country to an offshore location. Some members of our organization have questioned whether we are providing equal customer service, per dollar of cost, as we did before. We most certainly are, as is indicated by our satisfaction surveys administered at random to people who call the company help line. In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
Ready4	Utility Corp, a company with a specific level of cash in its budget, has been clearing uninhabited land near a national park for the construction of a coal plant. This practice continues even though greater annual profits can be made from a nuclear plant, which will not damage the nearby park, than from a coal plant, which will injure the habitat. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain why Utility Corp has been pursuing the less profitable of the two economic activities mentioned above?
	During the nineteenth century, occupational information about women that was provided by the United States census-a population count conducted each decade-became more detailed and precise in response to social changes. Through 1840, [hl:5]simple[/hl:5] enumeration by household mirrored a home-based agricultural economy and hierarchical social order: the head of the household (presumed male or absent) was specified by name, whereas other household members were only indicated by the total number of persons counted in various categories, including occupational categories. Like farms, most enterprises were family-run, so that the census measured economic activity as an attribute of the entire household, rather than of individuals.The 1850 census, partly responding to antislavery and women's rights movements, initiated the collection of specific information about each individual in a household. Not until 1870 was occupational information analyzed by gender: the census superintendent reported 1.8 million women employed outside the home in "gainful and reputable occupations". In addition, he arbitrarily attributed to each family one woman "keeping house". Overlap between the two groups was not calculated until 1890, when the rapid entry of women into the paid labor force and social issues arising from industrialization were causing [hl:1]women's advocates and women statisticians[/hl:1] to press for more thorough and accurate accounting of women's occupations and wages.
	According to economic signaling theory, consumers may perceive the frequency with which an unfamiliar brand is advertised as a cue that the brand is of high quality. The notion that highly advertised brands are associated with high-quality products does have some empirical support. Marquardt and McGann found that heavily advertised products did indeed rank high on certain measures of product quality. [hl:1]Because large advertising expenditures represent a significant investment on the part of a manufacturer, only companies that expect to recoup these costs in the long run, through consumers' repeat purchases of the product, can afford to spend such amounts.[/hl:1]However, two studies by Kirmani have found that although consumers initially perceive expensive advertising as a signal of high brand quality, at some level of spending the manufacturer's advertising effort may be perceived as unreasonably high, implying low manufacturer confidence in product quality. If consumers perceive excessive advertising effort as a sign of a manufacturer's desperation, the result may be less favorable brand perceptions. In addition, a third study by Kirmani, of print advertisements, found that the use of color affected consumer perception of brand quality. Because consumers recognize that color advertisements are more expensive than black and white, the point at which repetition of an advertisement is perceived as excessive comes sooner for a color advertisement than for a black-and-white advertisement.
	The professionalization of the study of history in the second half of the nineteenth century, including history's transformation from a literary genre to a scientific discipline, had important consequences not only for historians' perceptions of women but also for women as historians. The disappearance of women as objects of historical studies during this period has [hl:1]elements of irony[/hl:1] to it. On the one hand, in writing about women, earlier historians had relied not on firsthand sources but rather on secondary sources; the shift to more rigorous research methods required that secondary sources be disregarded. On the other hand, the development of archival research and the critical editing of collections of documents began to reveal significant new historical evidence concerning women, yet this evidence was perceived as substantially irrelevant: historians saw political history as the general framework for historical writing. Because women were seen as belonging to the private rather than to the public sphere, the discovery of documents about them, or by them, did not, by itself, produce history acknowledging the contributions of women. In addition, genres such as biography and memoir, those forms of "particular history" that women had traditionally authored, fell into disrepute. The dividing line between "particular history" and general history was redefined in stronger terms, widening the gulf between amateur and professional practices of historical research.
GI	In the diagram, 14 nodes are represented by circles, and relationships among the nodes are indicated by arrows. Each arrow points from one node (the parent node) to another node (the child node). A positive numerical value is assigned to each node so that the value assigned to a parent node is exactly double the value assigned to its child node. The nodes labeled A through E are the principal nodes. Use the drop-down menus to create the most accurate statement based on the information provided. The value assigned to the principal node labeled must be exactly double the value assigned to the principal node labeled .
Ready4	Comprised mainly of rice, vegetables, and lentils, South Indians have a diet that derives most of its fiber from vegetarian sources and almost none from animal foods.
	Kilometer RunThe Huffingdale All Boys School has produced a comprehensive set of running standards for young boys. These standards are based on data from young boys attending Huffingdale in good health conditions - as determined by a physician. The table displays the percentile distribution of time on a kilometer run for Huffingdale students at grade levels 1 through 5 according to the Huffingdale model. In a model population -- a large population of young students grade 1 through 5 that conforms to the Huffingdale running standards -- for n=5, 15, 50, 85, and 95, the nth percentile in running time for a given grade is the unique running time among boys of that grade level that is slower than or equal to n percent, and faster than or equal to (100 - n) percent, of running times for students of that grade level. HeightThe graph shows the percentile distribution of height, in centimeters, for running times from 500 to 700 seconds, according to the Huffingdale model. In a model population, for n=5, 15, 50, 85, and 95, the nth percentile in height for a given running time is the unique height among boys of that running time that is taller than or equal to n percent, and shorter than or equal to (100-n) percent, of heights of boys of that running time.
Ready4	An online media company plans to increase its share of market by deeply discounting its subscription prices for the next two months. The discounts will cut into profits, but because they will be heavily advertised, the company expects that they will attract buyers away from rival providers of similar media. The company foresees that, in the longer term, customers will initially be attracted by the discounts but will then remain loyal subscribers. In assessing the plan's chances of achieving its aim, it would be most useful to know which of the following?
	The [hl:1]idea[/hl:1] that equipping homes with electrical appliances and other “modern” household technologies would eliminate drudgery, save labor time, and increase leisure for women who were full-time home workers remained largely unchallenged until the women's movement of the 1970's spawned the groundbreaking and influential works of sociologist Joann Vanek and historian Ruth Cowan. Vanek analyzed 40 years of time- use surveys conducted by home economists to argue that electrical appliances and other modern household technologies reduced the effort required to perform specific tasks, but ownership of these appliances did not correlate with less time spent on housework by full-time home workers. [hl:3]In fact[/hl:3], time spent by these workers remained remarkably constant― at about 52 to 54 hours per week― from the 1920's to the 1960's, a period of significant change in household technology. In surveying two centuries of household technology in the United States, Cowan argued that the “industrialization” of the home often resulted in more work for full-time home workers because the use of such devices as coal stoves, water pumps, and vacuum cleaners tended to reduce the workload of married-women's helpers (husbands, sons, daughters, and servants) while promoting a more rigorous standard of housework. The full-time home worker's duties also shifted to include more household management, child care, and the post-Second World War phenomenon of being “Mom's taxi.”
OG15 OG16 OG17 OG18 OG19 OG20 OG2022	List T consists of 30 positive decimals, none of which is an integer, and the sum of the 30 decimals is S. The estimated sum of the 30 decimals, £, is defined as follows. Each decimal in T whose tenths digit is even is rounded up to the nearest integer, and each decimal in T whose tenths digit is odd is rounded down to the nearest integer; E is the sum of the resulting integers. If $$\frac{1}{3}$$ of the decimals in T have a tenths digit that is even, which of the following is a possible value of E - S ?I.-16II.6III.10

Ready4	Consultant: Advertising in videos purchased for download has shown promise as a way to activate consumers with a specific product message. Because the long-term impact on brand perception have yet not been shown; however, I do not recommend its use at this time. Client: Your position is inconsistent with your usual practice. You suggest many forms of advertising that are known to have a potential negative brand impact, so concern about long-term brand impact cannot be the real reason you will not recommend this form of advertising. The client's argument is ﬂawed because it fails to consider that
Ready4	An online retailer that makes its deliveries through a private shipping company has determined that, unlike before, now it can profitably begin making deliveries seven days a week, not just six days a week. Delivering a given number of shipments within a narrower window of time tends to be more cost effective, because, on average, delivery trucks will be able to exploit economies in their driving routes and will incur lower average shipping costs per dollar of delivered goods per hour. Nevertheless, the retailer expects profits to rise with the change. Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason for the expectation?
Ready4	Last year, Energy Corp's oil sales increased suddenly in the region of lower Ossamia. The Chief Financial Officer of the company explained this increase as the result of industrialization in the developing Ossamian nation of Mirmu. He predicts that, consequently, trade made possible by industrialization will grow between Mirmu and its Ossamian neighbors this year, leading to further increases in Energy Corp sales in the region. Each of the following, if true, provides some support for the CFO's prediction described above EXCEPT:
Ready4	Company A provides a business software for which companies pay an annual subscription fee, which includes help support provided by Company A's team of account managers. To reduce the cost of providing help support to half of last year's cost, Company A has redesigned its product offering to include two variants. To achieve this, Company A plans this year to move enough of its clients into a cheaper subscription that includes no access to help support to reduce the number of account managers to half of last year's number. Which of the following is required for the redesigned product offering to achieve its aim?
Ready4	Often misunderstood, Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where hostages express empathy and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them.
