Question 1  When we begin with observations about some members of a group and then generalize about all of them, we use a kind of reasoning known as…

  Enumerative induction

  Enumerative deduction

  Analogical induction

  Causal induction

 Question 2In enumerative induction, the whole collection of individuals being examined is called the…

Target group

  Inductive group

  Syllogism

  Sample group

 Question 3An enumerative inductive argument can fail to be strong because…

  The sample is representative of the target group

  The sample has many members

    The sample is too small or not representative

    The target group is large

 Question 4When we draw a conclusion about a target group based on an inadequate sample size, we make an error known as…

  Representative sample

  Hasty Generalization

  Inductive fault

  Biased sample

 Question 5zhe fallacy of reasoning that just because B followed A, A must have caused B is known as

  Faulty Analogy

  Representative Fallacy

  Post hoc, ergo prompter hoc

 Hasty Generalization

 Question 6We’re guilty of hasty generalization whenever we draw a conclusion about a target group based on…

  Large sample size

  Enumerative induction 

  Sufficient evidence

  Inadequate sample size

Question 7To reason that because two things have some similarities they must be similar in yet another way is to use…

  Hypothetical syllogism

  Statistical syllogism

  Analogical induction

  Enumerative induction

 Question 8Paul and Jim are both good looking and smart. Paul also has two kids. So, Jim probably has two kids plays too. This is an example of a/an

  Statistical syllogism

  Enumerative deduction

  Analogical induction

  Enumerative induction

 Question 9Which of the following is most accurate?

  If A is correlated with B. Then A necessarily caused B

  Correlation does not guarantee cause and effect

  Correlation cannot be as a result of conincidence

Correlation always guarantees cause and effect

Question 10To say that an argument is inductively cogent is to say that the argument is

  valid and its premises are true

  weak and its premises are true

  strong and its premises are true

  All of the Above

  True

  False

 Question 14A strong enumerative induction must be based on a sample that is both large enough and representative

  True

  False

 Question 15In evaluating an argument by analogy, the more diversity in the examples, the weaker the argument

  True

  False

 Question 16In evaluating argument by analogy, the more relevant similarities there are the better

  True

  False

 Question 17An inductively strong argument always guarantees that the conclusion is true

  True

  False

 Question 18Almost all of the students in Paul’s critical thinking class deserve an A. Evelyn is one of the students in Paul’s critical thinking class. Therefore, Evelyn deserves an A. This is a classic example of a/an
