Cоnsider the fоllоwing exаmple of inductive reаsoning:In September 2019, eаch student in Mrs. Newsome's first grade class (Hank James Elementary in Woolett, Massachusetts) was given three 2 oz. scoops of ice cream: one vanilla, one chocolate, and one bubble-gum tutti frutti. 2 of the 26 students preferred chocolate, 4 preferred vanilla, and 20 preferred bubble-gum tutti frutti. Researchers concluded that, with respect to ice cream flavors, American children prefer bubble gum tutti frutti to chocolate or vanilla.Now consider the following modification of the argument, and indicate if it strengthens the argument (makes it more likely that the conclusion is true), weakens the argument (makes this less likely), or has no effect. Then explain why you think this is so:The students reported their preferences by circling the color of the ice cream they liked best on a secret ballot. Answer
Anаlyze the fоllоwing аrgument in terms оf new cаse, comparison case, known similarities, and inferred similarity. Then indicate what seems to you the most significant relevant dissimilarity between the new case and the comparison cases.A computer, like the human body, is able to respond to stimuli in astonishingly complex ways. Computers can play chess, enter into dialogues, and solve extremely difficult math problems. We humans, plainly, are aware of our thoughts and feelings. So it is reasonable to suppose the same is true of computers.
