To improve the accuracy of weather forecasts, the National Weather Service intends to double the number of satellite sensors in orbit. Since more data points lead to more precise modeling, the new sensors will ensure that 10-day forecasts are as accurate as current 3-day forecasts.
Which of the following is a necessary assumption for the argument above?
- Current 3-day forecasts are more accurate than those produced by any other international weather service.
- Satellite data is the only type of data used by the National Weather Service to generate 10-day forecasts.
- The cost of launching the new satellite sensors is justified by the economic benefits of better forecasting.
- Computational power is not currently the primary factor limiting the accuracy of 10-day forecasts.
- The new satellite sensors will gather data of higher quality than the sensors they replace.
