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 InvalidExplanation / Answer
20. This is an Inductive statement and a strong statement. This statement is based on cause and effect reasoning. As, brownies are subjected to more heat and for longer duration than required, they will be more drier and crispier.
ANSWER. I ( 4) / S
21. This is an Inductive statement and is a weak statement. This statement is based on prediction is weaker, because toys and bicycles may or may not indicate a possibility of children in the family. Predictions are either true or false, hence, this makes them weak in argument.
Answer. l (3)/W.
22. This is an Inductive statement and a weak statement. This is based on appeal to authority.
Answer. I (6)/W
23. This is a deductive statement and an invalid statement. This statement is based on geometry. When line M is parallel to L, it cannot be parallel to N because L is perpendicular to N, hence, M is also, perpendicular to N.
Answer. D (3)/I
24. This is a deductive statement and a valid statement. This statement is based on a scientific law.
Answer. D (4) /V
25. This this is an inductive statement and a weak statement. This statement is based on prediction.
