Question 78
A landlocked student believes that people would prefer to live near the ocean if they could afford the additional expense.

Question 80
A journalist believes that it is possible to predict the number of Winter Olympic medals a country will win by analyzing the country's gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in the year prior to the Olympics.
