Answer: The dropout rate varies little from region to region across the country.
Explanation:
Erik gets to the conclusion that 80% of the people in this country knowing one person who did not finish high school it´s not surprising. To do so, Erik uses as evidence the idea that the average person has one hundred different acquaintances and the average dropout rate is 10%.
However, Erik's evidence is a conjecture. His assumption is that the conjecture that every average person has one hundred different acquaintances and that the dropout rate is 10% everywhere without considerable varations, is true.
