When we begin with observations about SOME members of a group and then generalize about ALL of them we use a kind of reasoning known as
|
Enumerative induction
|
|
In enumerative induction, the WHOLE collection of individuals being examined is called...
|
Sample, Target group
|
|
An enumerative inductive argument can FAIL TO BE STRONG because
|
both a and c The target is too small, and the sample is not representative
|
|
When we draw a conclusion about a target group based on INADEQUATE SAMPLE SIZE
|
Hasty Generalization
|
|
A sample that DOES NOT PROPERLY REPRESENT the target group is called a
|
Biased sample
|
|
A sample that is SELECTED RANDOMLY from a target group in such a way as to ensure that the sample is representative is known as a
|
Random sample
|
|
A self selecting sample is
|
Not likely to be representative
|
|
EX credit: the probability that the sample will accurately represent the target group within the margin of error is called the
|
confidence level
|
|
In an argument by analogy, the more relavant similarites there are between the things being compared, the more probable the
|
Conclusion
|
|
An inductive argument whose conclusion contains a causal claim is known as
|
A causal argumenta
|
|
A sufficient condition for the occurrence of an event is one that guarantees that the event occurs
|
True
|
|
A necessary condition for the occurrence of an event is one without which the event can still occur.
|
False
|
|
Mills method of concomitant variation says that when 2 events are highly correlated, there is a high likelihood that they are causually related
|
True
|
|
An enumerative induction has this pattern: Thing A has properties P1 P2 P3 plus the propety P4. Thing B has properties P1 P2 and P3 There fore, thing B probably has property P4
|
False
|
|
Ppl. who misjudge the probablilities involved in an occurrence are especially prone to thinking " it can't be just coincidence"
|
True
|
|
x's being a mother is a necessary condition for x's being female...
|
false
|
|
x's being a mother is a necessary condition for x's being a female.
|
False
|
|
A strong enumerative induction cannot have false premises
|
False
|
|
Pple are often guilty of biased sampling through selective attention
|
True
|
|
Ppl are very good at selecting things in random fashion
|
false
|
|
The assertion that P is necessary for Q is equivalent to
|
Both :If P than Q
Q can't be true unless P is true |
|
x's having 2 arms is a necessary condition for x's being a human being
|
False
|
|
To say the P is sufficient for Q is to say " If P then Q".
|
True
|
|
Being a mammal is a sufficient condition for being human
|
False
|
|
Something is a brother if and only if it is a male sibling. This means that being a male sibling is both necessary and sufficient for something to be a brother
|
True
|
|
An enumerative induction has this pattern: P1, P2, P3 Therefore, thing B probably has property P4
|
False
|
|
An analogical induction has this pattern: Thing A has properties P1, P2, P3 plus the property P4.
|
True
|
|
80% of the cases in which we observe an increase of blood XYZ levels, we also observe a higher incidence of blood pressure levels.
|
This is an example of correlation
|
|
Our experiments show that the XYZ molecule enters the cell through the cell's acetylcholine receptors, because these receptors respond to XYZ exactly as they would to acetylcholine molecules....
|
This is an example of a causal relation
|
|
As Bilbo Baggins said< "I don't know half as well as i should lke and i like less than half of your, as well as you deserve
|
None of the above
|
|
The in Star Wars, The Force is like duct tape: it has a dark side and a light side.
|
None of the above: this is a literary analogy
|
|
"Any friend of the sun devil is a friend of mine." this has the structure of
|
Analogical induction
|
|
Half of my republican friends like sarah Palin, therefore the next republican i met has a 50 % chance of liking her too
|
This is an example of an analogical inductive argument
|
|
Half of my republican friends like Sarch Palin, therefore 50% of all republic party members like her too
|
This is an example of an enumerative inductive argument
|
|
Sam has loved every Honda he has ever bought. So he will probably love the one he bought last week
|
This is an exaple of analogical inductive argument
|
|
If a single cell becomes a person in the course of a few years, there can be no difficulty in understanding that a single cell over the course of millions of years could give orgin to the human race.
|
both weak an strong Analogical inductive argument
