B) If banning motorcycle helmets did indeed reduce motorcycle fatalities, would that be conclusive evidence that such ban would be desirable? Explain carefully. C) If banning motorcycle helmets did indeed reduce motorcycle fatalities, would that be conclusive evidence that such ban would be undesirable? Explain carefully.
