Deb: it's worrisome that 80% of the people in this country know at least one person who did not finish high school.

erik's argument relies on the assumption that

The dropout rate varies little from region to region across the country.

Explanation:

Erik gets to the conclusion that 80% of the people in this country knowing one person who did not finish high school it´s not surprising. To do so, Erik uses as evidence the idea that the average person has one hundred different acquaintances and the average dropout rate is 10%.
