English
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]4 years ago
4 0

<u>Deductive reasoning: </u>By definition it is when you move from a general statement, such as "<em>All men are mortals", </em>to a more specific statement as <em>"Socrates is a man", </em>through a logical thought process as in "<em>Therefore, Socrates is mortal".</em>

Other example:

"This dog always barks when someone is at the door, and the dog didn’t bark. " <u>Conclusion:</u> There’s no one at the door.

<u>Counterexample:</u> is an example with a negative connotation. Whereas an example may be used to support or illustrate a claim, a counterexample is used to refute an assertion.

<u>Example:</u>

The assumption that <em>every English word contains at least one vowel.</em> Which is simply not true. One of the more exotic counterexamples is the word nth - of a mathematical origin.

Which statements are true about "evidence"? select all that appy observations which answer questions proof that an idea is true
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

based on the info that you have provided:

evidence - proof, confirmation, verification are all synonyms.  

Explanation:

observations which answer questions - this would have to have been proved with empirical evidence - data evidence that has been proven more than one time. I would not choose this answer.

proof that an idea is true - i would choose this answer due to the wording of "proof"

information for or against an idea - this could be someone's opinion and not have valid data to prove.  notice that "proof" is not in this answer. I would not choose this answer.

data - this would be empirical info and I would choose this as an answer.

I hope this helps.

:)
