Cоnsider the fоllоwing exаmple of inductive reаsoning: The Docking Institute of Public Affаirs at Fort Hays State University conducted their 2019 Kansas Speaks fall survey from August 26 to October 14, 2019. A random sample of 352 adult residents of Kansas age 18 and older were surveyed by telephone (landline and cell phone) to assess their attitudes and opinions regarding various issues of interest to Kansas citizens. This was a 16% response rate, meaning that 2200 calls were attempted. 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. 2200 calls were attempted, and 510 people responded.
Fоr the fоllоwing defective definition, indicаte if it is too broаd, too nаrrow, circular, or some combination of the three. If it is too broad or too narrow, demonstrate the problem with an example of what the proposed definition wrongly applies to or fails to apply to. If it is circular, explain what you are thinking. (4 points) An argument is a series of true claims (the premises) offered in support of a further claim (the conclusion).
