Cоnsider the fоllоwing exаmple of inductive reаsoning:352 аdult residents of Kansas age 18 and older were recently surveyed to assess their attitudes and opinions regarding various issues of interest to Kansas citizens. This was a 16% response rate, meaning that 2200 people were contacted. Those contacted were drawn from a pool of potential survey participants pre-selected to be representative of the overall Kansas population with regard to three variables: gender, age, and metro/non-metro residency. Where the respondents deviated from known demographics -- e.g., when more women responded than their proportion in the general population -- the survey results were weighted to correct for these deviations. Among the data generated by the survey, 88.1% of the respondents supported "requiring background checks on all gun sales" (73.5% "strongly support," and 14.6% "somewhat support"). They concluded that if all adult Kansas residents were surveyed, it is 95% probable that these findings (88.1% in favor; 73.5 % strongly, 14.6% somewhat) would be found, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5.2%. In other words, they were highly confident that support among Kansans for requiring background checks on all gun sales fell in the range of 82.9% to 93.3%.Given the following modification of the argument, indicate two things: (1) 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, and (2) why you think this is so.The conclusion was changed to "most Kansans support requiring background checks on all gun sales."
