Jones, Inc. sought a license from the Federal Communications Commission to operate a new television station in a major metropolitan area. The FCC held a hearing on Jones' application and invited public comment. Three companies who advertised on television spoke in favor of Jones' application and ten citizens who were tired of too much corporate emphasis on television objected to Jones' application. The FCC denied Jones' application on the grounds that the unfavorable number of speakers was over three times as many as the number of favorable speakers. Jones appealed the FCC's decision to court. Give your reasoning and decide.

The text shown above shows us that three companies were in favor of Jones' request to operate a new TV station in a metropolitan area while 10 citizens were against it. The FCC states that the number of people against the license was greater than the number of people in favor, however it is not possible to reach this conclusion with the information provided.

We do not know, within the companies that voted for Jones, how many people supported his decision and whether that number is in fact less than the number of people who voted against Jones.

In this case, the FCC decision is not valid due to lack of evidence.
