instruction:
You are given a background paragraph that describes one or more causal or qualitative relationships such as a relationship in economics or a scientific law and a story that makes use of the concepts or the relationship described in the provided paragraph. You are also given a question about the story that requires an understanding of the relationship described in the background paragraph and the story. You need to come up with an answer to the given question; the answer will be a span from either the question or the story. In order to correctly answer the given question, you need to understand the relationship mentioned in the background paragraph and should be able to use it to understand that in the story. Your answer can not consist of any word that is not mentioned in any of these: the background paragraph, the story, or the question. You can directly copy and paste a span from the story or the question while answering the given question.
question:
Background Paragraph: Storing large volumes of data – When storing XML to either file or database, the volume of data a system produces can often exceed reasonable limits, with a number of detriments: the access times go up as more data is read, CPU load goes up as XML data takes more power to process, and storage costs go up. By storing XML data in Fast Infoset format, data volume may be reduced by as much as 80 percent. 
Story: Bob works for a data storage company. He has now three projects, project A, project B, and project C, simultaneously going on. All of them involves storing 
XML data. Project A has small volume of data, but project B and project C has large volume of data. He applied Fast Infoset format for project B, but didn't apply that format for project C. 
Question: Would project A have higher or lower access times compared to project C?
answer:
lower access times.

Background Paragraph: Hepatitis B is a contagious virus that affects the liver, infection can last from a few weeks to a serious lifelong illness. Two different types of infection exist for this disease, "acute" and "chronic." Acute Hepatitis B is a short term illness that occurs within 6 months of exposure, Chronic Hepatitis B is long term and happens when the virus remains in the body. The younger the child is, the greater their chance of developing a chronic infection and this risk goes down as the child gets older. Approximately 90% of infected infants will develop a chronic infection.[3]. 
Story: A 2nd grade classroom photo was held today. They all gathered by age. Foster was the oldest. Olin was the 2nd oldest. Yong was the 3rd oldest. Brenton was the 4th oldest. Carol was the 5th oldest. Dewitt was the 6th oldest. The last one was Jamaal, who was the youngest. They all looked terrific that day. 
Question: Who has a greater chance of developing a chronic infection: Foster or Dewitt?
answer:
Dewitt.


question:
Background Paragraph: Turner et al (2006) derived crash prediction models for this report’s predecessor and found a
pronounced ‘safety in numbers’ effect in the models. Using the crash prediction model for mid-block
locations, generic motorist and cyclist volumes can be used to demonstrate the impacts on the
expected crash rate of varying motor vehicle and cycle volumes. As shown in figure 2.20, an increase
in the proportion of cyclists to the overall traffic volume causes an increase in expected crashes at
mid-block locations, but the crash rate increases at a decreasing rate. That is to say, the crash rate per
cyclist goes down as the cycle volume increases. 
Story: There were a lot of motorcycles on Interstate 12 last week. On Thursday, there were 1501 motorcyclists. On Friday, there were 2501 motorcyclists. On Saturday, there were 3501 motorcyclists. On Sunday, there were 4501 motorcyclists. On Monday, there were 5501 motorcyclists. On Tuesday, there were 6501 motorcyclists. On Wednesday, there were 7501 motorcyclists. 
Question: What day had a lower crash rate per cyclist: Saturday or Tuesday?
answer:

Tuesday.
