What is meant by validity or strength of an argument? - Correct answer
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
✔Generally, Strong Arguments are ones that are convincing. And an argument
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
is valid if the premises(if true) provide proof of the conclusion.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
What are the different types of inferences? - Correct answer ✔- Deduction
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
- Induction
||
-Abduction
Inference - Correct answer ✔A conclusion one can draw from the presented
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
details.
deduction - Correct answer ✔forming a general conclusion based on specific
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
observations
Induction - Correct answer ✔forming a specific conclusion based on general
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
premise.
Abduction reasoning - Correct answer ✔rules out explanations until most
|| || || || || || || || || ||
plausible remains ||
, truth - Correct answer ✔A proposition that accurately represents reality.
|| || || || || || || || ||
validity - Correct answer ✔In a good deductive argument structure, when true
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
premises make the conclusion necessarily true.
|| || || || ||
invalidity - Correct answer ✔One or two of the premises are false, thus making
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the conclusion false.
|| ||
Soundness - Correct answer ✔The deductive argument is valid, and all
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
premises are true premises. || || ||
Unsoundness - Correct answer ✔When the argument is invalid or the premises
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
are false.
||
How is truth connected to propositions? - Correct answer ✔The relationship
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
that holds between a proposition and its corresponding fact. If a proposition is
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
true, then the conclusion is true, but if it's false then it's false.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
valid argument form - Correct answer ✔an argument form in which every
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
substitution instance is a valid (true) argument || || || || || ||
invalid argument form - Correct answer ✔an argument form that has some
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
invalid (false) substitution instances
