Yes, strong arguments can be based on false premises, made-up "facts," iffy scientific "evidence," etc. It is actually fairly common.
The presence of a false conclusion in a strong argument suggests that at least one of its premises must be false, as a strong argument should lead to a true conclusion based on true premises.
Yes, a deductive argument can have false premises. However, the conclusion does not follow logically if the premises are false, making the argument unsound.
Since an inductive argument is an argument where the truth of the premises make it reasonable to hold that the conclusion is true, it does not necessarily guarantee it, meaning you could have a false conclusion.
Yes, an argument can be valid even if it contains false premises. Validity in an argument refers to the logical structure, where the conclusion follows logically from the premises, regardless of whether the premises are true or false.
A strong inductive argument can be considered uncogent if the premises are not relevant or if there is a problem with the reasoning or structure of the argument. Additionally, if the premises are not true or if there is a lack of sufficient evidence to support the conclusion, the strong inductive argument may be considered uncogent.

Yes, if the conclusion of an argument is just as likely to be false as it is to be true based on the premises provided, then the argument is considered weak because it does not provide strong support for the conclusion. The premises should logically lead to the conclusion, rather than leaving it equally likely to be true or false.
An inductively strong argument is one where the premises provide good support for the conclusion, even though it is possible for the conclusion to be false. When an inductively strong argument has true premises, it is considered valid because the reasoning is sound and the conclusion is likely to be true based on the evidence provided.
True. - Valid arguments are deductive. - Arguments are valid if the premises lead to the conclusion without committing a fallacy. - If an argument is valid, that means that if the premises are true, then the conclusion must be true. - This means that a valid argument with a false premise can lead to a false conclusion. This is called a valid, unsound argument. - A valid, sound argument would be when, if the premises are true the conclusion must be true and the premises are true.
A sound argument cannot have a false conclusion. A sound argument refers to a deductive argument which is valid and has all true premises, therefore its conclusion cannot be false.
That's correct. The validity of an argument depends on both the form of the argument and the truth of the premises. If the premises are false, then even if the argument is logically valid, the conclusion cannot be considered true.
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.
No, a valid deductive argument cannot have a false conclusion. If the argument is valid, it means that the conclusion logically follows from the premises. If the conclusion is false, it means that the argument is not valid.
