Madison gets pulled over by a police officer, who noticed that she was swerving while driving and that there is a whiff of alcohol on her breath. The officer gives Madison a horizontal gaze test. She passes it. Statistics about the horizontal gaze test show that, out of 100 people taken at random from the general population, only 15% of those who pass the horizontal gaze test are over the blood alcohol limit. So Madison says: there's only a 15% probability that I'm over the blood alcohol limit! Madison's reasoning...
A. is wrong because it ignores total evidence
B. is wrong because she is refusing to acknowledge that the result of the horizontal gaze test is actually evidence against her position
C. is wrong because passing the horizontal gaze test does not provide any evidence that she is below the blood alcohol limit
D. is perfectly good
Answer: a. is wrong because it ignores total evidence
