California Highway Expert: A recent study determined that expensive sports cars account for only 5% of all traffic on our state highways, yet nearly 25% of all people that were ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were driving expensive sports cars. We must conclude that people who drive expensive sports cars are more likely to speed recklessly than people who do not.
The argument above depends on which of the following questionable assumptions?
A. Many of the people who were driving expensive sports cars received numerous speeding tickets during the period in which the study took place.
B. California drivers exceed the speed limit more often than drivers in other states.
C. People driving expensive sports cars are less likely to receive a speeding ticket than people who drive other types of vehicles.
D. People who receive speeding tickets are more likely to speed recklessly than people who do not.
E. People who have received at least one speeding ticket are more likely to have been in an accident than those who do not.
