easy · LSAT Logical Reasoning

The average height of the players on the city's professional basketball team is over six feet. Therefore, any individual player on the team must be over six feet tall.

The reasoning above is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it:

  1. assumes that a figure true of the team taken collectively, such as its average, must hold of each player taken separately
  2. overlooks that professional basketball players are, as a group, generally far taller than members of the general population
  3. presumes, without any support, that height is the single most important determinant of an individual basketball player's success
  4. neglects to state the exact measured height of the shortest individual player currently rostered on the city's professional team
  5. concludes, overreaching well past its evidence, that no professional basketball player anywhere could ever stand under six feet
