    The biggest problem with Professor Ahad's conclusion is that his drawing conclusions in academic performance of groups without taking in account that second group has access to better information of final exam and is making an over generalization.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are two problems actually. First one is over generalization from a specific case or inference, With the result of only one exam, the teacher concludes his first group is inferior academically, which is inadequate conclusion. More information must be used to make such strong conclusion.

    The second problem, and reason for not making over generalizations, is that second group may outperform the first group, because they could access or may ask their classmates which were the questions of the exam, specificaclly because there is enough time between exams, which allows to them to be betterr prepared to the questions of the same exam
