FastMart, a convenience store chain, is planning to add pancake syrup to the items it sells. FastMart stores do not have shelf space to stock more than one variety of syrup. Surveys of FastMart customers indicate that one-fourth of them prefer low-calorie syrup, while three-fourths prefer regular syrup. Since FastMart's highest priority is to maximize sales, the obvious strategy for it is to stock regular syrup.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
People buying pancake syrup at convenience stores, those buying it at supermarkets, generally buy it only a few times.
People who prefer low-calorie syrup generally use about the same amount of syrup on their pancakes as those who prefer regular syrup.
Regular syrup does not sell for a higher price per unit than low-calorie syrup.
In general, customers who prefer regular syrup buy low-calorie syrup if regular is unavailable, but those who prefer low-calorie will not buy regular syrup.
Sales of syrup are not expected to account for a large proportion of total dollar sales at the average FastMart store.
background:商店的货架只放得下一种糖浆
有1/4的消费者喜欢低卡路里糖浆,3/4的消费者喜欢常规糖浆。因此为了最大化销售量,商店应该卖常规糖浆。问weaken
choice b, 用低卡路里糖浆的消费者用量和用常规糖浆的消费者一样。strengthen the conclusion
choice c, 常规糖浆并不会卖得比低卡路里糖浆贵。strengthen
choice d, 喜欢常规糖浆的消费者在缺货的情况下会去买低卡路里糖浆,但是喜欢低卡路里的消费者在缺货的时候不会去买常规糖浆。correct,说明其实低卡路里的潜在消费者数量不止1/4的消费者,而是全部的糖浆消费者。而常规糖浆的潜在消费者就是3/4全部消费者
错b,People who prefer low-calorie syrup generally use about the same amount of syrup on their pancakes as those who prefer regular syrup. 用量在per pancake上相同,其实与结论无关。常识理解错误。以为是所有的用量。
对d,方案
(超市卖糖浆,但是摆放糖浆的架子不够用)
P: 架子要么摆低卡糖浆,要么摆正常糖浆,顾客中,喜欢低卡糖浆的占1/4,喜欢正常糖浆的占3/4
C: 摆正常糖浆可以maximize sales(不知道这里的sales指的是销售量还是销售额)
问削弱?
B 错选,喜欢低卡糖浆的人和喜欢正常糖浆的人在pancakes上用的糖浆同样多,和他们买不买糖浆,sales会不会最大化无关。
C 正常糖浆的价格不比低卡糖浆低。价格不低,需求还大,sales可能是最大化了,加强。
D 如果摆正常糖浆,就损失了喜欢低卡的顾客,而摆低卡糖浆,所有的顾客都会买低卡糖浆,此时sales才是最大化的。
D选项,如果你把regular syrup摆上去,你会损失1/4的低卡用户;但是如果摆低卡syrup,你不会损失用户。所以为了最大化sales(销量),应该摆低卡而不是regular
我去。。。这题一开始完全没明白意思。我以为是店铺要把这种syrup收起来。。但是stock在这里好像不应该解释成存储的意思。。应该是放货架上展示的意思。。。也就是说超市是在决定要摆哪种syrup出来卖,而不是要把哪种syrup存起来。。。完全理解错了,怪不得每一个选项看着顺眼
Farthest连锁店计划卖煎饼糖浆。但空间有限,只能存一种糖浆 。调查显示1/4顾客倾向低卡糖浆,3/4倾向普通糖浆。由于FastMart想使销售最大化,所以明显应该存普通糖浆。方案推理,问削弱
A. 便利店买家不像超市买家,一般只买几次;无关
B. 倾向低卡糖浆和普通糖浆的用户的做蛋糕糖浆用量相同;增强,方向反
C. 普通糖浆价格和低卡糖浆差不多; 增强,方向反
D. 一般,倾向普通糖浆的客户在普通糖浆没有的情况下会买低卡糖浆;而低卡用户不会买普通糖浆;即存低卡糖浆策略更好,削弱结论,正确
E. 糖浆销售预计占比不大;无关
都毁在一个单词上,糖浆。。。用煎饼选的,错选B
