using facts, examples makes an argument strong
An argument is valid if the conclusion logically follows from the premises. This means that if the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true. An argument is strong if the premises provide good support for the conclusion, making it likely to be true.
Yes, a valid argument can still be weak if the premises provided are not strong or relevant enough to support the conclusion. Validity refers to the logical structure of an argument, while the strength of an argument refers to the quality and persuasiveness of the premises.
Valid arguments are not described as strong or weak. Validity refers to the logical structure of an argument - if the premises logically lead to the conclusion. An argument can be valid but still weak if the premises are not well-supported or sound.
A valid argument becomes invalid when it contains a logical fallacy, such as a false premise or faulty reasoning. Additionally, if the conclusion does not necessarily follow from the premises provided, the argument is considered invalid.
A strong inductive argument can have a false conclusion if the premises are not relevant to the conclusion, even though they may seem to provide strong support. This can happen if there is a flaw in the reasoning or if there is a hidden assumption that is not valid. Strong inductive arguments should have premises that are actually connected to the conclusion in order for the argument to be valid.
Yes, it is possible to have a sound valid inductive argument. For an inductive argument to be sound, it must have a valid form (the conclusion must logically follow from the premises) and have true premises. This combination of validity and truth makes the argument sound.
Yes, a valid argument can still be weak if the premises provided are not strong or relevant enough to support the conclusion. Validity refers to the logical structure of an argument, while the strength of an argument refers to the quality and persuasiveness of the premises.
Valid arguments are not described as strong or weak. Validity refers to the logical structure of an argument - if the premises logically lead to the conclusion. An argument can be valid but still weak if the premises are not well-supported or sound.
A valid argument is certainly stronger than an invalid argument. but an argument can be valid and still be relatively weak. Validity and strength are not the same, although they are both good features for an argument to have.
Evaluating Arguments QuizResults Reporter Out of 7 questions, you answered 7 correctly with a final grade of 100% 7 correct (100%) 0 incorrect (0%) 0 unanswered (0%) Your Results:The correct answer for each question is indicated by a . 1 CORRECT It's no use going on about whether this law is just. It was passed democratically. A) Valid B) Strong C) Can't be made either valid or strong Feedback: The correct answer is B. The assumed premise, Most laws that were passed democratically are just, makes the argument strong. The premise needed for a valid argument, "All democratically passed laws are just," is not as plausible. 2 CORRECT How can you be so critical of Pride and Prejudice? You never read it. A) Valid B) Strong C) Can't be made either valid or strong Feedback: The correct answer is A. The assumed premise, You are not justified in being critical of any book you have not read, is plausible and makes the argument valid. 3 CORRECT I wouldn't call her reliable. She was late with her last rent check. A) Valid B) Strong C) Can't be made either valid or strong Feedback: No assumed premise can make the argument either strong or valid. The weakest possible assumption, "If she was late with her rent check last month, she probably isn't reliable," is far too implausible. 4 CORRECT It's not safe to let Dave drive you home. He just had a furious argument with his boss. A) Valid B) Strong C) Can't be made either valid or strong Feedback: The correct answer is B. The assumed premise, When Dave has just had a furious argument, it's usually not safe to let him drive, makes this a strong argument. It isn't plausible to assume (as you'd have to for a valid argument) that Dave is an unsafe driver every time he's had a furious argument. 5 CORRECT Look, it's snowing. The air will be warmer today. A) Valid B) Strong C) Can't be made either valid or strong Feedback: The correct answer is B. The assumed premise, When it is snowing, the air becomes warmer, makes this a strong argument. 6 CORRECT We didn't miss the bus. It isn't 8:04 yet. A) Valid B) Strong C) Can't be made either valid or strong Feedback: The correct answer is B. The assumed premise, If it isn't 8:04, the bus probably has not come yet, makes the argument strong. 7 CORRECT That isn't art. A child could do it. A) Valid B) Strong C) Can't be made either valid or strong Feedback: No assumed premise can make the argument either strong or valid. The weakest possibility, "Very few children could make art," is too vague to be plausible.
Valid arguments must include facts and supporting documentation in order to strengthen the validity. If not, then the argument can be challenged.
An argument is valid if the conclusion logically follows from the premises. In other words, if the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true. Validity is not concerned with the truth of the premises or conclusion, only the logical relationship between them.
No, arguments can either be strong or weak, however, a valid argument would be considered a sound argument. The opposite would be an invalid argument.
sound premises + strong facts + strong conclusion = effective solid argument
No, arguments can either be strong or weak, however, a valid argument would be considered a sound argument. The opposite would be an invalid argument.
An argument that is strong, sound, and valid is a cogent one.
Premise
This statement is not correct. A valid argument is one in which the conclusion logically follows from the premises, regardless of whether the premises are true or not. A sound argument, on the other hand, is a valid argument with true premises. So, while all sound arguments are valid, not all valid arguments are sound.
