strong/weak inductive argument rules

strong argument + all true premises =

cogent argument

First we assume premises are true then we....

determine if it is possible for conclusion to be true

For an inductive argument to be strong the conclusion must be more probable than ...

improbable must be more than 50% chance of it being true

Good inductive arguments are those that we...

naturally expect to be true.

a cogent argument is an inductive argument that is strong and has all true ...

premises

in strong arguments the conclusion does follow probably from the ...

premises

weak inductive arguments is an argument in which the conclusion does not follow probably from the...

premises even though it is claimed to.

an uncogent argument is an inductive argument that is weak, has one or more false...

premises, fails to meet the total evidence requirement or any combination of these

if conclusion turns out to be false we react with...

surprise

Strong inductive arguments is an argument in which it is...

unlikely for the conclusion to be false given that the premises are true

Any inductive argument having true premises and a probably false conclusion is ...

weak

1) Do the premises support the conclusion? assuming the premises are true 2) are all the premises true?
