A synthetic a posteori statement is one that equires sensory experience to determine the validity of the statement.
I.E. "There is a rabbit on my porch." This statement requires empirical evidence gathered through the senses to determine whether or not it is true. "A posteori" means after/post experience. After one's experience of an object can it be understood or truth be affirmed.
Contrast to an analytic statement.
I.E. "All daises are flowers." One need not check every daisy to see if it is a flower as this statement is true in its definition. This is called an "a priori statement" as its truth is undestood "prior" to its experience. The negation of an analytic statement is a contradiction in the statement.
I.E. "All daises are computers." The predicate "are computers" does not logially follow from the definition of the subject "Daisie".
Contrast both to the statement: "The sun will rise tomorrow."
This question is neither a synthetic or analytic statement, as one cannot appeal to logic of the statement or sensory experience to know if the sun will infact rise tomorrow.
