Argument Types
"I played soccer with my friends on Tuesday, I played soccer with my friends today, and me and my friends are going to play soccer on Friday. I always play soccer with my friends."
The conclusion is:
What is "I always play soccer with my friends"?
For euler diagrams,what makes an argument invalid?
If there is a way to draw the diagram that makes the conclusion false.
Is it true that
[(b->s)^b]->s?
(Create a truth table to solve)
What is True?
Is this argument valid?
Premise: If George Bush is a republican, then he is not a democrat
Premise: George Bush is not a democrat
Conclusion: George Bush is a republican
What is invalid
An argument that uses a collection of general statements as its premises and uses them to propose a specific situation as the conclusion.
What is Deductive Argument?
why does the premesis matter to determine the location of an element or a set mentioned in the conclusion?
It could make the argument invalid
TRUE or FALSE?
If a truth table is always true, then the argument is invalid
Is this argument valid?
Premise: When it rains, my roof leaks
Premise: Every time my roof leaks, my carpet gets wet
Conclusion: So, every time it rains, my carpet gets wet
What is valid
The argument "when I went to the store last week, I forgot my purse and when I went today I forgot my purse. I always forget my purse when I go the store".
The Premise and Conclusion are:
What is
Premises-
I forgot my purse last week, I forgot my purse today
Conclusion-
I always forget my purse.
What is a Euler diagram?
Its a graphical representation used to illustrate the relationships between different sets (Essentially the same as a Venn diagram)
Convert this argument into a conditional statement:
Premise: If I go to the mall, then I'll buy new jeans
Premise: If I buy new jeans, I'll buy a shirt to go with it
Conclusion: If I go to the mall, I'll buy a shirt
(M=Mall, J=Jeans, S=Shirt)
Premise: m->j
Premise: j->s
Conclusion: m->s
Is this argument valid:
Premise: Josh was required to write a 10-page paper or give a 5-minute speech.
Premise: Josh did not give a 5- minute speech.
conclusion: Josh wrote a 10-page paper.
What is Valid.
An argument that uses a collection of specific examples as its premises and uses them to produce a general conclusion.
What is Inductive Argument?
What is the main purpose of a Euler diagram compared to a Venn diagram?
What is a Euler diagram only represents the relationships that actually exists
TRUE OR FALSE:
Analyzing arguments using truth tables means you must create a conditional statement, joining all the premise (represented symbolically)
What is TRUE?
Is this argument valid?
Premise: If I plant a tree, I put gloves on
Premise: I have gloves on
Conclusion: Therefore, I planted a tree
What is valid
TRUE OR FALSE:
Within an argument, a conclusion is a specific set of examples and a premise is a general statement.
What is FALSE?
(Premises are a specific set of examples and a conclusion is a general statement)
How are sets represented in a Euler diagram?
What is each set is represented by a simple closed curve

Is this argument valid?
Premise: If Neta proofreads a friend’s writing, then she must be a good friend
Premise: Neta did not proofread a friend’s writing
Conclusion: so, she must not be a good friend
What is invalid
