Question

The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet.
The argument above is flawed because it confuses:

a. Jerry with other members of the team.
b. the members of one team with the members of another team.
c. people who are six feet three inches tall for people who are exactly six feet tall.
d. an average for the individuals that make up that average.

Answer 1

I would go with A. Because that’s not only his height. There could be taller people on the team that make up for his lack of height.
