Sample Questions

Question 1
Read this passage from a memoir: 'I've been at this halfway house for about eighteen months. Before that I was in the hospital for several years. My family always called it non-descriptively "the hospital," though the telephone book listed it as a "mental hospital." Nobody in my family would dare whisper the word "mental."' The writer's family attitude toward his condition is best described as one of
impatience
ignorance of treatments
embarrassment
indifference to his needs
Question 2
A speaker recalls: 'I, along with two or three other patients, or inmates, as we were called in the old days before we became residents and clients, used to leave the hospital each Thursday night.' By listing 'patients', 'inmates', 'residents' and 'clients', the speaker is most clearly drawing attention to
the medical history of his own treatment
the legal rights granted to hospital inmates
the friendships he formed during his stay
how language reflects changing attitudes to the mentally ill
Question 3
In a study, two groups were told a suspect's DNA matched crime-scene DNA. Group I heard: 'There is a 0.1% chance the crime-scene DNA is not the suspect's.' Group II heard: 'The frequency of people whose DNA matches is 1 in 1000.' These two statements describe the same probability. The value 0.1% is equal to
1 chance in 1000
1 chance in 10
1 chance in 100
1 chance in 10 000
Question 4
A jury study found that when DNA match evidence was given as a frequency ('1 in 1000 people match'), 74% answered a follow-up question correctly, versus only 26% when given as a percentage ('0.1% chance it is not the suspect'). Out of 500 000 people, how many would be expected to have DNA matching the suspect's, using the 1-in-1000 frequency?
5000
500
50
less than 1
Question 5
The same jury study reported that 28% of the 'percentage method' group, but only 8% of the 'frequency method' group, said the crime-scene DNA was almost certainly the suspect's. This suggests that presenting DNA evidence by frequency rather than percentage makes a jury more likely to
convict both guilty and innocent suspects
acquit both guilty and innocent suspects
acquit an innocent suspect and convict a guilty one
convict an innocent and acquit a guilty suspect
