The following information applies to questions 34 and 35. Assume that driving skill, S, varies throughout the population. Automobile insurers classify drivers into two categories: “Good” and “Bad”. Good drivers are those people who have driving skills above a threshold level of driving skill, S*. Bad drivers, on the other hand, have driving skills that fall below the threshold level, S*. Good drivers pay lower rates than Bad drivers. Additionally, assume that it’s common knowledge that Welsh are more skillful drivers than Scots, such that a higher proportion of the Welsh population has driving skills above S* than the Scottish population. Also assume that there is a law that prohibits insurers from learning a person’s driving skill. Which group would be most likely to invest in a lobbying campaign supporting a law that would prohibit the use of these new data collection devices? A. Welsh with driving skills greater than S* B. Scots with driving skills greater than S* C. Scots with driving skills less than S* D. Welsh with driving skills less than S*
