Question

Argument Classification Directions: Determine whether the following arguments are inductive or deductive and list the type by using the appropriate number. Also determine whether the deductive arguments are valid or invalid. For inductive arguments, determine whether they are strong or weak. (4pts.each) Recall the following argument types Deductive: Inductive: (1) Based on Definition (2) Based on Mathe matics 3) Based on Geometry 4) From a Scientific Law (5) Based on Form (1) Analogy (2) Generalizations (3) Predictions 4) Cause and Effect Reasoning (5) To a Scientific Law (6) Based on Appeal to Authority Use the following abbreviations for your front page: l(nYS (nyW answers and enter all of your answers on this = Inductive (Fn) and Strong = Inductive (#n) and weak Deductive (in) and Valid = Deductive (Fn) and Invalid

Explanation / Answer

(8). This statement is a Deductive statement and a Valid statement. This statement is based on the mathematical concept of cube. The formula for cube is a³, here represent the edge.

Solution: D (2) /V. Deductive (2) and Valid

(9). This is a Deductive statement and a Valid statement. This is statement based on mathematical reasoning. As Bob works 10 hours/week, but he makes three more than Tom who works 20 hours/week. Hence, 10×3=30, which more than that is made by Tom, whose is 20×1=20.

Solution: D (2) / V

(10). This is a Deductive statement and an invalid statement. This is based on mathematical reasoning. If the exact location of Bob and Tom has been mentioned, the conclusion would have been valid and not ambiguous.

Solution: D (2)/ I.

(11). This is an Inductive statement and is a strong statement. This sentence is based on generalization principle.

Solution. I (2)/S

(12). This is a deductive statement and is a valid statement. This statement is based on scientific reasoning.

Solution. D (3)/V

(13). This is an Inductive statement and is a strong statement. This statement is based on analogy.
