A) Inductive, strong.B) Deductive, valid.C) Inductive, cogent.D) Deductive, invalid.E) Inductive, weak.

Answer 1

inductive weak ( E )

Step-by-step explanation:

An inductive weak argument is an argument whereby the outcome of the argument is less likely to occur/happen when compared to the presumed condition on which the argument was made.

Yuri Androvich is a blue-eyed Russian and his paintings sell for $10000 is the basis/ presumed condition on which the argument that Peter Roganov also a blue eyed Russian and a fresh graduate from Art school should also sell his artwork for $10000. this condition is not feasible because other factors such as expertise and experience could be the main reason behind the sales of Yuri's artwork at $10000 which Peter lacks.

hence the argument is an inductive weak argument.

Answer 2

• Option-(E): "Yuri Androvich is a blue-eyed Russian, and his paintings sell for over $10,000. Peter Roganov is also a blue-eyed Russian, and he just finished art school. Thus, his paintings should sell for over $10,000, too".The following argument is an inductive, weak argument.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The reason is that the different statement or prediction may not be able to produce the as expected results but due to inability to perform well while being inside the given premises the result may disappoint many and thus we can conclude that the given argument is of inductive, weak nature.
