4. The following appeared in a letter from a homeowner to a friend. Of the two leading real estate firms in our town?Adams Realty and Fitch Realty?Adams Realty is clearly superior. Adams has 40 real estate agents; in contrast, Fitch has 25, many of whom work only part-time. Moreover, Adams revenue last year was twice as high as that of Fitch and included home sales that averaged $168,000, compared to Fitchs $144,000. Homes listed with Adams sell faster as well: ten years ago I listed my home with Fitch, and it took more than four months to sell; last year, when I sold another home, I listed it with Adams, and it took only one month. Thus, if you want to sell your home quickly and at a good price, you should use Adams Realty. 在本市的两家最大的房地产经纪公司--Adams Realty和Fitch Realty--之中，Adams 显然更优秀一些。Adams有40 名房地产经纪人，而Fitch 只有25 个，且很多是兼职工作。而且，Adams 去年的收入是Fitch 的两倍，其平均房价为$168000，而Fitch 仅为$144000。在Adams 销售的房屋卖得也更快：十年前，我把我的房产交给Fitch，它用了四个多月才卖出去；去年，我在Adams 卖了另一处房产，仅用一个月就售出了。因此，要想让你的房产卖的更快更好，你应该选择Adams。 1, Selective sample:样本选择，一部分被排除在外 One major problem is about the sample the author studied in the survey.
