The sketch referenced was Edgar Allan Poe's, 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue.'
By the way, the passage was originally in the Sherlock Holmes story 'The Cardboard Box,' but that story did not appear in the British version of the short story collection 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.' The story was quickly removed from the American version of the collection, but the "mind-reading episode" was transferred to 'The Resident Patient' in that book. When 'The Cardboard Box' reappeared 24 years later in the collection 'His Last Bow,' the American version included the "mind-reading episode" in both stories, and most American collections keep it in both to this day.
In an interesting side-note, Henry Ward Beecher (who is the object of Watson's thoughts in that passage) was involved in a famous adultery trial in 1875 (about 18 years before publication of 'The Cardboard Box'), and adultery happens to be a major part of the plot of 'The Cardboard Box.'
I believe they are mainly used for observational purposes - that is, they are observed, and conclusions are taken about the Universe.
I would guess that he observed the sky and drew his conclusions; and that religious ideas of the time were secondary for him.
They want to make sure an observed difference isn't due to chance
None or one. Monogamy was strictly observed.
In a graph, conclusions refer to the interpretations and insights drawn from the data presented. They summarize the key findings, trends, or relationships observed in the graph, helping to clarify what the data signifies in the context of the study or analysis. Conclusions can guide decision-making or further research based on the patterns identified in the graphical representation.
No, inferences are conclusions drawn based on observed evidence or facts. Without making observations first, there is no basis to draw logical conclusions or make accurate inferences. Observations provide the necessary information to make sense of a situation and draw meaningful conclusions.
Meredith Grey's job is a surgical resident she can assist the attending on surgeries do surgeries (observed though by attending) she technically is a surgeon.
An argument in which the author presents a general conclusion before listing observed specifics is an inductive argument. Inductive reasoning involves moving from specific observations to broader generalizations or conclusions.
Induction is a logical process where reasoning moves from specific observations to general principles. It involves drawing conclusions based on patterns or trends observed in specific instances.
Science has observed that cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. Through various experiments, scientists have determined that cells have distinct structures and functions, and that they are capable of performing all the necessary processes for life, such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism. Overall, the conclusions drawn from these observations have revolutionized our understanding of biology and medicine.
An explanation based on observed facts involves interpreting data and observations to provide a coherent understanding of a phenomenon. This process often includes identifying patterns, drawing conclusions, and forming hypotheses that align with the evidence gathered. For example, scientists may observe changes in weather patterns and explain them through climate change models, linking observed data to broader environmental trends. Ultimately, this explanation aims to clarify the relationship between the observed facts and the underlying causes or mechanisms at play.
The term used to describe a fact that has always been observed to be true but could potentially not be true in the future is "empirical generalization." This concept acknowledges that while certain observations may consistently hold true based on current evidence, they remain subject to reevaluation as new data or circumstances emerge. Thus, empirical generalizations are not absolute truths but rather conclusions drawn from observed patterns.
