Rost, lekin isbot emas

61-darsda jadvalga zid variantlarni o'chirishni o'rgandik. Ular ketgach odatda ikkitasi qoladi, va ikkalasi ham jadvalga to'liq mos bo'ladi.

Endi ikkinchi savol boshlanadi, va u qiyinroq: bu raqam da'voni isbotlaydimi?

📝 Namuna:

Jadvaldan to'g'ri o'qilgan raqam uch sababdan javob bo'lmasligi mumkin:
1. solishtiruvning faqat bir tomonini beradi;
2. da'voda umuman yo'q toifa haqida;
3. da'vodan oldin ham rost bo'lgan — ya'ni hech nimani isbotlamaydi.

Uchinchisi eng nozigi va SAT uni juda yaxshi ko'radi.

⏱ ~85 soniya

Uchinchi shakl: «bu avval ham shunday edi»

Ko'p savolda da'vo biror o'zgarish yoki ta'sir haqida bo'ladi: yangi yo'lak velosipedchilarni ko'paytirdi, yangi dori kasallikni kamaytirdi.

Bunday da'voni isbotlash uchun raqam oldin va keyin ni solishtirishi kerak — yoki ta'sir bor va yo'q joyni. Faqat «keyin» ni ko'rsatgan raqam hech nimani isbotlamaydi.

Sinov savoli: «bu raqam o'zgarishdan oldin ham rost bo'lgan bo'lishi mumkinmi?»

Javob «ha» bo'lsa — u dalil emas. Riverside yo'lida velosipedchilar High Street'dan ko'p bo'lgani yangi yo'lakni isbotlamaydi, chunki ular yo'lak qurilishidan oldin ham ko'p edi.

Bu 53-darsdagi «ikki tomonga ham yaraydigan» sinovining raqamli ko'rinishi. Bir xil fikrlash — boshqa material.

Cycle Journeys Recorded at Two Counters (thousands per year)

The city built a protected cycle lane along the Riverside path in 2020 and made no change to High Street, where cyclists share the road with traffic. A transport officer argued that the protected lane, rather than a general rise in cycling across the city, accounts for the growth recorded on Riverside:

Yechim

Da'vo: o'sishni yo'lak keltirdi, umumiy moda emas. Bu ikki tushuntirish orasidagi tanlov — demak raqam ularni bir-biridan ajratishi kerak.

Ajratuvchi narsa nima? High Street — u o'zgarmagan, ya'ni u nazorat guruhi. Agar o'sish faqat Riverside'da bo'lsa, sabab yo'lak; ikkalasida ham bir xil bo'lsa, sabab umumiy moda.

Hisob (2019 → 2021, ya'ni yo'lak qurilgan davr): Riverside 141 − 88 = 53, ya'ni 53 ÷ 88 ≈ 60%; High Street 39 − 34 = 5, ya'ni 5 ÷ 34 ≈ 15%.

TO‘G‘RIjourneys on Riverside rose by about 60 percent between 2019 and 2021, while journeys on the unchanged High Street rose by about 15 percent — ikkala yo'lni ham, o'sish davrini ham qamraydi. Riverside to'rt barobar tezroq o'sgan — bu aynan «yo'lak, umumiy moda emas» degan da'voni ko'taradi.
TUZOQjourneys on Riverside were higher than journeys on High Street in every year recorded3-shakl: bu 2019-yilda ham rost edi — yo'lak qurilishidan bir yil oldin (88 va 34). Yo'lak qurilishidan oldin ham rost bo'lgan fakt yo'lakning ta'sirini isbotlay olmaydi. Bu darsning asosiy tuzog'i.
TUZOQjourneys on Riverside reached 152 thousand in 2023, the highest figure recorded at either counter1-shakl: solishtiruvning bir tomoni. Rost, lekin High Street'siz bu raqam ikki tushuntirishni ajratmaydi — umumiy moda ham xuddi shu raqamni berardi.
TUZOQjourneys on High Street rose in every period recorded — rost (34 → 39 → 41), lekin bu raqib tushuntirishni oziqlantiradi: umumiy o'sish bor ekan. O'zi holda u ofitserning da'vosiga qarshi ishlaydi.
💡 Maslahat: Jadvalda o'zgarmagan ustun bo'lsa — High Street, nazorat guruhi, «boshqa bo'lim» — javob deyarli har doim o'sha ustunni ham ishlatadi. SAT uni bekorga qo'ymaydi.

Two schools in a district introduced a new reading programme in 2022; a third continued as before. The district's report claimed that the new programme was responsible for the improvement at the two schools that adopted it. The figures give little support to that claim:

Introduced rats eat the eggs of ground-nesting seabirds. A conservation team removed the rats from one island in 2019 and left a neighbouring island untreated. The team reported that the removal, and not some wider change in the region's seabird population, explains what happened next:

Xulosa

  • Jadvalga mos bo'lgan variant ham javob bo'lmasligi mumkin.
  • Uch shakl: bir tomon · da'voda yo'q toifa · «oldin ham rost edi».
  • Sinov: «bu raqam o'zgarishdan oldin ham rost bo'larmidi?» Ha bo'lsa — dalil emas.
  • Jadvalda o'zgarmagan ustun bo'lsa, javob uni ham ishlatadi.
  • Da'vodan kuchliroq variant («har doim», «hech qachon») deyarli har doim tuzoq.
