Question
One of the requirements for admission to the Alpha
Basketball Club is a high degree of skill in basketball. The club trustee has expressed concern that the club may have discriminated against qualified women in its admissions this year. Yet half of the applicants admitted to the club this year were women. Hence, it can be concluded that there was no discrimination against qualified women applicants in the club's admissions this year.Which one of the following is an assumption on which the conclusion of the argument depends?Solution
