If a deductive argument is valid and its premises are true, then the conclusion must also be true. This is because the structure of the argument guarantees that if the premises are true, then the conclusion must follow logically.


What argument is based on facts that can be proven true and contains a conclusion that must be true if the premises are true?

If you are hungry then you are not happy is assumed to be true is its converse If you are not happy then you must be hungry also always true?

No, the converse of a statement does not necessarily have to be true. In this case, the original statement "If you are hungry then you are not happy" does not imply that its converse "If you are not happy then you must be hungry" is always true. It is possible to be unhappy for reasons other than hunger.


What makes a valid deductive argument?
