UCAT: Decision Making

[2xq]

So it can be none or some right?

From my understanding it would be 0 < A being B < all

N.B. correction made. Cheers nb

 

[Kevkevkev]

From my understanding it would be 0 ≤ A being B < all

N.B. I could be wrong

Thank you!

Hi,
Can someone please explain why 4 is no? My mind is not working.
Ty in advance.

Also, is nor interchangeable with or in the following example: E.g. 'he is neither dog or cat' = 'he is neither dog nor cat'?

You cannot make conclusions about developmental psychology. It's not conclusive enough to say it "must" be. Therefore, No is the answer

I'm having the same troubles as realwalterwhite .
The way I understand it is that not all Psychology students who graduated from the uni study developmental psychology. So there is a group of psychology students which do study developmental psych. Because it says "except for those who took a course in social psychology", I view it as this select group which does study developmental psych has students who all took a course in social psych.

Or is the question saying that not every psych student who graduated study developmental psych, except that all students who did social psych went onto studying developmental psych?

Could someone else explain it in a different way to how the answers explain it and how 2xq above does? I'm still confused

We concluded on this forum multiple times that not all=some. So the first part says 'some P students who graduated studied DP.' The second part says 'those who took a course in SP must also have taken DP,' however there is no indication as to whether it is compulsory to take SP to study DP, and DP could have been studied as the only course (w/o SP). That's why 4 is no and 5 is yes.

I understood that not all=some. What you just explained I think is on par with my second hunch "not every psych student who graduated study developmental psych, except that all students who did social psych went onto studying developmental psych". I was confused over what the "except" was negating/its meaning. Originally I thought it meant that only those that did dev psych did social studies, but on second glance, as you explained, it means that all social psych kids went onto do dev psych. So thank you for clearing that up!

On another note, I'm finding that a lot of the official resource DM stuff is very inference/assume like. Can we assume that it was the result of free publicity and mouth-to-mouth which lead to the bike's sales? Do we know this for sure? Couldn't it have been just purely because the bike was of higher quality? For A and E, would their explanation be considered taking information outside of the text?

The Psychology question has come up (and been answered) about 4 times that I can think of so if you have a look back through this thread, you'll find others talking about it.

I am sorry, I ruled out using search because people normally paste these questions as images so I thought I wouldn't be able to find anything, and so that left my other option of trawling through 19 pages. I have used the search function now and I see what you mean hehe - both of my questions are answered on page 2

I just did this and the answer is Yes, it says so in the explain answer. I said yes and got it right... I think there is some error in the system because this happened to me with another syllogism question

 

[sevun]

Kind of a stupid question, but can many = all?

So it can be none or some right?

No. It has been confirmed that Not all implies some. It cannot be none! 2xq

Hey,
Can I be directed to where not all implying some was confirmed?
Thanks

Could anyone please share their tips when it come to selecting strongest argument questions?
I found that I used to be quite good, but on the official resources, each answer is often quite wordy and seem valid, even though some are clearly not related to the point. Other times, there doesn't seem to be one argument which stands out and I get confused between two/three of the options.

I've looked through the past posts and people say pick the option which addresses all aspects of the question, but sometimes the options either don't appear to address any aspects (brain gets confused) or two of them do and I can't pick between them.

Anybody got any advice for what has worked for them, particularly in understanding the arguments from which you have to pick from?

Could someone please explain this question for me. Not really understanding what the table is showing and the general context of the question.

Sorry not the best at explaining but look at the question, scanning for key words and try to understand what the issue is. Then look at the statements and try to find the one that includes the key words and addresses the question, providing a realistic explanation that solves the problem.

Basically the company can produce a certain number of machine A AND machine B in a month, and each row shows how many of these machines it can produce in a month (each row is a different option the company can take). For example consider the second row. The company can produce 400 of machine A and 800 of Machine B maximum in a month. This is one of many options they can take (not limited to only these 4 but these 4 give a general trend).

Also if you were to calculate the amount of time in a month the company has for labour, you can use any of the 4 rows (all give you 60,000)
